Before Camp ASCCA, I did not have many friends. Those I did make would sometimes move away, and others didn’t understand my condition and would reject me. This hurt to the point that I just stopped trusting anyone as a friend. However, in 2018, Camp ASCCA changed everything.
Happy holidays, readers! This year is off to a wonderful start, and I have so much to tell you about! Before I get to everything that happened over the break though, there’s something I have been absolutely dying to share. This blog took me much longer than I had hoped, so the wait has been really agonizing. 2020 has been so great, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed living it.
I had seizures from the time I was born, but the first seizure my parents knew about happened in October 2002 when I was 3 years old. It was the middle of the night, and my mom thought she heard me throwing up.
In mid-November, our friends from Exelon made the trip over to Camp ASCCA to help out with a project.
Halloween might be officially over, but I am not happy about it! There are so many reasons why I love Halloween, aside from it being the last holiday before it gets cold.
Christmas Weekend at Camp ASCCA lasts for just a weekend, so there’s not that much to pack for this camp!
Fall Family Weekend comes at the perfect time of year. The air is just right, the need for reconnection with your closest friends is a must and it is a time to get back to some of the most fun moments in life at Camp ASCCA.

Fall Family Weekend is finally here and we could not be more excited! Our campers arrived this afternoon ready for a weekend packed full of
When I left for camp Sunday morning, I was depressed. I’d spent the last few months in what seemed like a never ending spiral of anxiety. If I wasn’t stressing about my future, I was probably calling myself a terrible writer, a terrible advocate and an all around terrible, unlovable human being. I woke up that morning convinced I was destined to a life of loneliness and wasted potential.
As winter approaches, so does Christmas Camp ASCCA! I attended Christmas Camp for the first time in December 2018, a few months after my first summer camp. The Christmas Camp was basically summer camp, but with Christmas traditions packed into a fun-filled weekend.
With the end of summer comes the time for the ASCCA Summer Staff to come together and select the year’s Camp ASCCA Camper of the Year. Every year, the staff nominates ten campers that they believe set the tone for the summer. The nominees are often selected based on the characteristics that make them unique and how their summer experience was that year.
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.
