Went to Camp, Shouldn’t You? Celebrity
Campers Share the Importance of the Camp
Experience
Indianapolis, IN (May 4, 2009) – The
American Camp Association® (ACA) is
proud to announce the release of a public
service announcement titled Because
of Camp…™. This
PSA highlights celebrities including Emma
Roberts, Hill Harper, Lisa Loeb, Kerri
Strug, Michael DeLorenzo, Justin Chambers,
Paul Adelstein, James Pickens, Blair Underwood,
Sharon Lawrence, Frank Sesno, Glynn Turman,
Ashlan Gorse, and Lisa Raye sharing
how their lives have changed Because
of Camp…™.
“Because of Camp…™ illustrates
what the camp community has known for almost
150 years – simply put, camp changes
lives,” said Peg L. Smith,
ACA’s chief executive officer. “The
benefits of camp extend further than just
childhood development. Camp, and the experiences
of camp, define us, even as adults. Camp
has changed many lives, introduced people
to new passions, and broadened horizons.”
Each year, camp provides ten million children
with the opportunity to connect
with nature, to participate in human
powered activities, and to benefit
from personal and primary relationships.
Because
of Camp…™ communicates
the essentials gained from the camp
experience, including developing lasting
friendships, gaining self-esteem, learning
to work as part of a team, and developing
critical life skills such as empathy
and compassion.
Because of Camp...™ so
much is possible.
ACA encourages the sharing this vital
message with your audience. Please feel

sites.
This PSA Campaign is made possible,
in part, by generous funding from the
Legacy Fund sponsored by the Association
of Independent Camps and the Lilly Endowment
Inc.
