In our latest installment of Campers of ASCCA, Britani and Brooke share their love for tubing!

The entire camp ended the fourth night of Session #2 with a big game of BINGO at the Dining Hall! Program staff employees Gwin and Leah called out numbers while Briana and Meghan managed the prize table. As letters and numbers were called out, campers and counselors put little markers on the matching square if they had it. The first person to fill a row of 5 and yell “Bingo!” won the round and was able to go pick out a reward from the prize table. If a camper incorrectly called “Bingo,” their counselor had to go up and perform in whatever manner the program staff told them to. Multiple counselors had to go up to the front of the Dining Hall to perform for the rest of the camp.

Every summer during orientation, our staff pick themes after they have assigned to their cabins. They spend the weekend before camp starts decorating their cabins, and some continue to add to the decor throughout the summer.

It was another full day of fun for campers as they enjoyed various activity rotations this morning! By the time rest period rolled around, they were worn out from so much excitement. After a much needed nap and yummy snack to recharge, some campers chose to cool off with a few of our Aquatics programs for Free Choice!

Card and domino games brought out the competitive side out of some of some of our campers this afternoon! The free-choice activity was hosted by program staff employees Isabel and Mary at the Dining Hall. They set up several tables with a variety of cards and dominoes. After rest period and a quick snack, campers and counselors filled part of the Dining Hall ready to dominate in some games!

The talent show rocked the basement of the Lions Lodge tonight. We had performances to songs by artists ranging from Michael Jackson to Florida Georgia Line to Kelly Clarkson and everything in between. We had an astounding 62 acts this session!

The first full day of Camp ASCCA is officially over! Campers and counselors enjoyed a fun, sunny Monday. The day included boatrides, archery, bocce ball, fishing, music, demo farm, zipline, arts and crafts, pool, and tubing! Everyone went to dinner and a group went to a pool party and the other half went to the science fair. Moundville, Chickasaw, Crow, Choctaw, and Davis enjoyed some fun at the pool while Cheaha, Redstick, Cherokee and Creek competed at the science fair.

Everyday, after rest period and snack time, campers have what we call Free Choice Activities. These are a select few of activities that may not normally be a part of the regular activity rotations, from which campers get to choose which ones they want to go to. Some of the more popular ones require sign-ups, which counselors do during lunch time. Those are usually activities like Demo Farm, Boatrides, Zip Tower and more. Tonight’s sign-up activities included Horseback Riding, Nature Project and Cooking Class!

The Kiwanis Club of Huntsville, a nonprofit organization that focuses on serving youth in the area, sponsored Kenyon Reyes and Ariyon Evans to attend Session 1 here at ASCCA.

On Sunday, Girl Scout Troop 7282 traveled to Camp from Auburn, Alabama, to visit our campers and be a part of the check-in process. The girls setup a table of lemonade and shortbread cookies to give to campers and their families as they passed by the pavilion on the way to the dining hall. They even setup new birdhouses across the ASCCA campus with the help of troop leaders.
