It is hard to describe Camp ASCCA in just three words, but some of the most important ones are kindness, bravery, and curiosity. These three words help capture what it feels like to be at Camp. Our campers exemplify these words every day and we love to see it!
Kindness: This is everywhere at Camp ASCCA! It can be seen not only in camper-counselor relationships but also in camper-camper relationships. The counselors show their kindness by caring for their campers and being nothing but genuine every day. Campers like to show their kindness through acts of service or gift-giving. They like to make bracelets, drawings, and other crafts to gift the counselors or other campers. And we cannot forget about all the love notes they write to one another!
Bravery: Sometimes when campers come to Camp ASCCA, they can be nervous to do the big activities we offer. Every day, campers conquer their fears, showing their bravery. Whether it’s gliding down the zipline or riding the water on a tube, campers try new things every week! It takes real courage and commitment for campers to do something they are afraid of, but their bravery is something so special!
Curiosity: Every day, campers wonder and think about things they want to know more about. Curiosity is what fuels campers’ creativity and imaginations to learn and take action every day. This can be seen through the creations they make and the questions they ask while at Camp. Seeing the wonders and thoughts campers have daily is amazing, and we are so happy to have the opportunity to provide them a place where they can be curious!
Camp ASCCA is so much more than just these three words, but these are some of the ones that stand out the most! Seeing our campers exemplify kindness, bravery, and curiosity is truly something we value. No matter how many summers go on, our campers will always have these qualities in their hearts. Their personalities grow every year, and having the chance to see them shine means so much to us!
