Association of Camp Nurses - ACN
edit Description
The Association of Camp Nurses (ACN) is a professional nursing organization working toward healthier camp communities by supporting the practice of camp nursing. ACN was founded by Jeanne Otto when she began an informal newsletter in the 1980's. With her retirement in 1990, ACN restructured as a not-for-profit organization, created a Leadership Board , and launched the Association which exists today.
ACN’s national office is in Bemidji, Minnesota. Board members represent a variety of camp nursing experiences. The organization is volunteer-driven by nurses who are committed to developing camp nursing practice and working to provide healthy camp communities.
Members of ACN are nurses. In a practice where one nurse is often the only nurse, ACN membership can be the resource which helps minimize the camp nurse’s feeling of isolation and provides a way to share camp health discoveries. ACN offers access to other people who share similar interests. Members receive ACN’s publication, CompassPoint, participate in Association governance, serve on various committees, and attend ACN conferences.
