2018 Camp ASCCA Camper of the Year

At the end of each summer, the ASCCA Summer Staff selects that year’s Camp ASCCA Camper of the Year. This year, the staff nominated ten campers, and the field was voted on and narrowed down to the top three. Then, a second voting round took place that narrowed down the top three to one individual who received the highest number of votes. The 2018 Camper of the Year is Tim Dillard.
