Why I Started ACE Club

Hi, I’m Craig, founder of ACE Club.

I started ACE Club to give kids a chance to step away from busy schedules and screens and reconnect with nature, adventure, and real friendships.

ACE Club is about creating a space where children can build confidence, try new things, and create memories for life through real outdoor experiences.

For over 10 years, our mission has been simple:

Less screen time. More green time. More memories for life.

Great Experience for Your Future

Universities, scholarships, and future employers value students who show leadership, responsibility, teamwork, and community involvement.

Your experience as an ACE Club Camp Counselor gives you meaningful real-world examples you can use in university applications, personal statements, interviews, and future resumes.

It’s more than volunteering—it’s an opportunity to grow, lead, and build experiences that can help shape your future.
