Camp ASCCA Blog

We had many visitors here at ASCCA today including current and past board members and representatives from Rotary clubs across the state.

At Camp ASCCA, rain won’t ruin our parade! Some inclement weather was moving towards camp this evening so what was supposed to have been a pool party turned into a cabin talent show! Campers were too excited about this talent show to be upset about the pool, especially because they will be visiting the pool throughout the week anyways.

Sports Camp’s Monday started off with skeet shooting and fishing after breakfast. In the afternoon after lunch and good rest, Sports Camp headed to zip tower.

After campers recharged with a nap and snack, they headed to their various Free Choice Activities for the afternoon. One of the options was a fun pizza making class with special guest Mark McClurg. Mark is the co-owner of Little Italy Pizzeria in Auburn, Alabama!

The first in a four part series of Counselor Spotlights. Get to know Taylor Walls as he takes us through his first summer at ASCCA!

This week, every day is a different dress-up theme! We will be participating in Marvel Monday, Tie Die Tuesday for ASCCApalooza, Wonderful World of Sports Wednesday, and True to ASCCA Thursday. This week is different than any of the others because everyone dresses up every day and because the week ends with prom on Thursday night!

Girl Scout Troop 7282 of Auburn, Alabama, returned today with cookies and lemonade for parents and campers during check-in. After dinner, they stayed behind to do a fun arts and crafts activity with everyone. Throughout the summer they’ll be on site doing other fun activities with campers as they work towards their goal of receiving the Girl Scout Silver Award. As mentioned in an earlier blog post, the Girls Scout Silver Award requires 50 hours of community service from each Girl Scout Cadette and is the highest award they can earn!

While ASCCA is having Teen Week, we also have Sports Camp this session. Sports Camp is centered around sports of course, so all of their activities are sports related. Instead of going to rotations in groups with Teen Week campers, our campers in Sports Week have their own schedule of activities.

Another fabulous week here at Camp ASCCA! Relive the highlights

At tonight’s dance, campers relived their earlier years with throwback jams like “Ice, Ice, Baby” by Vanilla Ice and “Beat It” by Michael Jackson. This week’s theme was Flintstones to Jetsons also known as Decades Day! Everyone showed up in their best throwback or futuristics outfits, ready to dance the night away.

We love Demo Farm! Demo Farm was visited by all ten groups this week and they loved it. Demo Farm Director Briana gives her speech on the farm’s rules and what should be done in order to have a fun and safe environment. Every camper was able to meet and pet chickens, goats, and donkeys and look at rabbits and pigs. Chickens are brought out by the counselors and Demo Farm Director Briana. The goats and donkeys are brought out with leads to the campers so that they may be met and groomed. Campers ask about the animals all week long and it’s exciting every time they get to visit the farm.
