ASCCApalooza ’17 (Video)

ASCCApalooza was an incredible experience for the campers, staff members, and performers. Experience it through our latest documentary!

Rockin’ The Outpost

The campers showed their skills at the talent show this week with singing, dancing, and cheering!

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

Session Four Get Ready to Soar!

What time is it? Camp ASCCA time! It feels like the summer just started but it’s already the beginning of session four! There are so many fun activities awaiting our campers this week and we cannot wait for all of them to experience new things.

Soul Stones!

While half our cabins had a pool party, Crow, Redstick, Chickasaw, and Creek cabins painted soul stones. This new activity here at camp will be one that lasts much longer than the week the campers are here. The campers and counselors painted their stones with whatever colors and words they wanted and let them dry.
