There is technically an ACA standard where a background check has to be completed for each staff member, including volunteers. I also think it's one of the required standards. Though as far as the type of background check, it doesn't really matter, it more depends on what the state requires for people working with children. For example, my camp in OH required finger-print forms for their background check because that's what OH expected at the time. Though, my camp in NC didn't required finger-print forms, we had to fill out some forms and those were registered with the state.
