At Camp ASCCA, Tuesday means talent show! Every Tuesday we hold our talent show which gives campers the opportunity to show off their unique talents.

Today I had the chance to sit down and catch up with our head nurse, Sean Jaco! Jaco started as a counselor at Camp ASCCA in 1988 and ever since then he has always found his way back. He worked as a counselor, summer nurse, and he is now the Director of Health Services here!

At ASCCA, we have something called ASCCA Achievements. These are awards given by program staff to campers who came to their programs and showed great enthusiasm, courage, or excelled that day! Some campers may earn them from overcoming their fear of something, while others might earn it by encouraging their friends who are nervous to try something new.

Today we had a super exciting day at archery! All of the campers came out super ready to get their hands on a bow and arrow and get the chance to aim at the target.

Historically, the dance at Camp ASCCA is always a night to remember. Campers anticipate the dance night all year long. When this special night rolls around, everyone comes to dinner dressed to impress, and some even write love notes asking others to save them a dance. This year the dance was a little different, and very exciting for campers!
