Camp ASCCA is a magical place where friendships form in the most unexpected ways. Some bonds are formed over a high-five after hitting the bullseye in archery, a shared laugh during a messy arts and crafts project, or simply sitting side by side at the dining hall. For Kelly and Alyn, two counselors who both attend Auburn University but had never crossed paths before, Camp ASCCA became the place where their friendship blossomed.
Despite walking the same campus back at Auburn, Kelly and Alyn’s paths never intertwined until they arrived at Camp ASCCA. Within days, they became inseparable. Whether they were helping campers swim across the pool, cheering each other on during the zipline, or playing a quick game of pool, their teamwork and positive energy were contagious.
What makes their friendship even more special is how they use it to uplift others. Kelly and Alyn naturally gravitate toward helping their campers. They can always be found encouraging someone to try a new activity, assisting a first-time camper, or just offering a listening ear. Their kindness and enthusiasm create a domino effect, making camp an even brighter place for everyone around them.
Now, when they return to Auburn in the fall, they’ll be reunited best friends, bonded by their shared Camp ASCCA experience. And who knows? Maybe next summer, they’ll be back together, creating more memories and inspiring others the way only this dynamic duo can. Camp has a way of bringing people together in the most amazing ways. Kelly and Alyn’s story proves that friendship and a little bit of camp magic can happen when you least expect it.
