Congratulations are in order to the 2017 Teen Week Prom King Daniel Gonsalves and Prom Queen Kelsi Moore. Throughout the week, campers campaigned as voting day swiftly approached. There were signs on different buildings all across camp! Some people were like Kelsi and even brought yard signs which they stuck in the ground along sidewalks. The amount of preparation, creativity and effort put into everything was extremely impressive!
Teen Week was an incredible time for ASCCA. Relive the highlights!
Session 3 at ASCCA had a different theme for each day of the week instead of just one theme for the whole week like the rest of our sessions. Our campers and staff showed off different outfits for Monday through Thursday.
Prom night was a blast! The night started out with prom date photos and a fancy dinner in the dining hall and patio. Every counselor and camper lined up to get their photograph taken with their date(s). After their picture was taken, they were escorted into the dining hall and were able to start getting ready for dinner. Plates of chicken cordon bleu, green beans, and rice were served by Food Services Director Enis Higgs, the rest of the kitchen staff, and program staff. After dinner, everyone was sent out onto the patio so that program staff could get the dining hall ready for the dance!
“Wednesdays are for the boys!” That was the motto for tonight as the guys enjoyed having the dining hall all to themselves, while the girls were off doing their own thing. Other than Prom, this is also a night that campers look forward to throughout the week.
Tonight was girls night! The unit leaders, program staff, and counselors all got together to think of the perfect way to celebrate the young women joining us during session 3! They all decided on decorating cupcakes, painting nails, laying down to relax, dancing, and writing promposal posters for the guys!
Sports Camp was treated to a visit from the Auburn wheelchair basketball team. Nathan Waters, Accommodation Specialist at Auburn University brought basketball wheelchairs and as well as some members of the team.
The Sports Camp crew were treated to a fun morning of scuba diving!
The day we’ve all been waiting for finally arrived! Campers enjoyed music and fun at our first annual ASCCApalooza. This mini music festival was held at our new OutPost building with special performances by Nashville Bound, Charity Bowden, Jackson Capps, Sweet Tea Trio and more! Some of our campers don’t get to experience something like this outside of Camp, so we were more than happy to bring the experience to them.
We had many visitors here at ASCCA today including current and past board members and representatives from Rotary clubs across the state.
Located in Alabama on Lake Martin, Camp ASCCA offers campers a wide variety of traditional recreational and educational activities with a unique design for accessibility.
