MONSTER INVASION

Monsters attempted to take over Camp ASCCA today but campers stopped them! Campers had to go to stations spread out throughout camp. There was one at archery, in front of the main office, splash pad, Davis Lodge, the nurses’ station, the Wii Room, the gym, the playground and arts and crafts. Each station had a different game to play or challenge to overcome!

Visitors Two Days in a Row!

Yesterday we were visited by Pilot clubs, and today we had Elks join us for the day. We had visitors from Elks clubs in Dothan, Mobile, Alexander City, Gadsden, Bessemer, Marion County, Anniston, Cahaba Valley, and Auburn-Opelika. We had multiple tours going at once and some even staying at the waterslide all morning to watch our campers have fun!

Let’s Paint S’more!

After an exta 30 minutes of nap time, campers were more than ready for Free Choice activity rotations. One of the options was a special Nature project with Nature Director Mary Ryan!

Honor Cabin… It’s Kind of a Big Deal

It is a Camp ASCCA tradition that the head counselors design a paddle that goes with the week’s theme and choose a cabin to give it to. This cabin is known as the honor cabin for the week! It is an extreme honor to be named cabin of the week because that means that your cabin stood out from the rest of the great cabins in a positive way.

Pilots Day 2017

Today, we were joined by Alabama Pilots Club members from throughout the state. Each summer, we host an annual “Pilots Day” where members visit Camp, spend the morning taking a tour around the campus, and finish the visit off with a delicious lunch alongside the ASCCA campers and staff.

Cargo Net Fun!

Today, we made our Cargo Net available as a Free Choice activity for the first time this summer! Although it was pretty hard to compete with other fun activities like pool, canoeing and hammocks at the OutPost, we still had a few campers stop by.

Horseback Riding for Everyone!

This week we have horseback riding as a rotation! Usually horseback is a sign-up activity in the afternoons during free choice time, but this week every camper gets the opportunity to ride the horse.

It’s SLIME time!

This afternoon during sign-up activities, campers and counselors headed to the demo farm with program staff employee Briana to make some slime! Campers cheered on
