Making A Difference
The Camp Owners and Directors Association was created to help forward-thinking camp directors discuss and share best business practices with the goal of running camp more effectively and efficiently. We collaborate year-round to review and exchange ideas — from industry regulations to staff training techniques to program development. All CODA members benefit from these shared resources.
