The 3rd Asia Oceania Camping Congress 2009
Asia Oceania Camping Congress (“AOCC”) is the formal representative meeting of Asia Oceania Camping Fellowship (“AOCF”) in every 2 to 3 years. AOCF was founded in 2003 during the 6th International Camping Congress in Melbourne, Australia. Participants from Asian countries had a meeting and decided to establish Asian Camping Fellowship in order to exchange camp information and collaborate for developing camp movement in Asia.
In 2004, the First Asian Camping Congress (“ACC2004”) was held in International Children Center Nairamdal, Mongolia, and Asian Camping Fellowship was established by representatives from 4 countries (Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia and Mongolia).
The 2nd Asian Camping Congress (“ACC2006”) was held in Perak State, Malaysia, in August 2006. The congress had about 150 participants from 20 countries and regions. Representatives accepted that Australia, Russia and CIS join in the fellowship, and changed the name of ACC to Asia Oceania Camping Fellowship (“AOCF”).

The International Camping Fellowship (“ICF”) is a worldwide assembly of camping professionals interested in sharing their enthusiasm, knowledge and commitment to the camping experience. It was founded in 1987 amidst the energy of individuals gathered around the dream of a better world through camping and it is rooted in the belief that we can make a difference by “bringing together the world of outdoor experience.”
The ICF is committed to coordinating the exchange of news and information between individuals, camps, outdoor experiences and organizations in different countries in order to encourage and facilitate bilateral and multilateral exchanges and to stimulate efforts to achieve international understanding and global living, leadership, and ecological action through organized camping and outdoor experience and to encourage the organization of regional and national camping associations.
