Friends of ASCCA: McCartney shares her tips and tricks of accessibility in her everyday life!

Hey everyone! Glad to be able to write for this fantastic blog again, and I have a very interesting topic in mind too!

As many of you know, the world we live in doesn’t exactly come with an accessible sign. There are many things that just weren’t designed for people with disabilities. This is why I wanted the topic of this post to be adaptations. Adaptations have enabled me to do so many things, so I thought I would share a few of my own personal life hacks with all of you!

A Great Start for the Program Staff

Mother Nature has not been on our side for the first two days of program staff training, but it has not stopped the program staffers and the rest of the Camp ASCCA employees yet. It has been quite wet around the campgrounds the past couple of days, but we as a staff are eager to push on and get things done. With just two days into orientation week the Camp ASCCA staff have already accomplished a lot of training.
