Music Licensing at Camps

ACA and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) have continued their agreement that allows ACA-accredited® camps to use ASCAP licensed music without paying any licensing fees until 2010. ACA will pay ASCAP one dollar per camp per year for all ASCAP licensed music. ACA-accredited camps are automatically included in the agreement with ASCAP. Currently, ACA represents more than 2,400 camps nationwide.

For specific questions concerning which music and lyrics fall under ASCAP licensing, contact ACA's office administrator, 800-428-CAMP (2267).

Established in 1914, ASCAP is the world's largest performing rights organization, with more than 75,000 active composer, lyricist and music publisher members in the United States. ASCAP is the only performing rights organization in the United States whose board of directors is made up solely of writers and publishers, elected by the membership.
