On Thursday, January 11, the Camp ASCCA staff went through an aquatic training program. This program was taught by Doug Darr and Maurice Jackson, both with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The goal of this training was to enhance the programs offered by Camp ASCCA by educating the staff about the local aquatic resources.
.
The camp staff was taught many new programs that we will be able to perform with our campers. These programs ranged from activities that teach the different adaptations of fish, to a presentation on the geograghical regions of Alabama and the unique (often endangered) species found there. One definite outcome of this training will be a more educational fishing program. The camp fishing program has always been a fun recreational experience, but we are looking to improve upon it by teaching our campers more about how to fish, and why we fish.

Alabama is truly a unique state, with more aquatic resources than any other state. From the cold waters in the northern part of the state that are home to trout, to the estuaries of the Gulf Coast, no other state offers the aquatic diversity that is found in Alabama. We want to thank these gentlemen and the ADCNR for sharing their ideas and materials with us. |
Located in Alabama on Lake Martin, Camp ASCCA offers campers a wide variety of traditional recreational and educational activities with a unique design for accessibility.
