The sidebar to the left of this message includes links to sorted information from our conference brochure, organized by day and by category. If you'd like to peruse the entire schedule from start to finish, we invite you to download the file (PDF). We hope this provides useful information to jog your memory about what you saw or missed at the conference, and that you'll keep the conversation about vital camp issues and innovative programming going with your staff, parents, and campers this summer.

This is also the place to find information on the vendors from CampEXPO2008, which featured many of the best brands in the camp industry. Every vendor's contact information is listed here - they truly are valuable resources to the entire ACA New England community. Thanks for supporting them.

Sincerely,
The Staff of ACA New England
