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.
For one of tonight’s Evening Activities, campers from Moundville, Chickasaw, Crow, Choctaw and Davis Cabins participated in our first Science Fair of the summer! Campers were split into teams according to their cabins and were responsible for assembling and decorating their own Marshmallow Catapults!
Welcome back to Camp ASCCA for Session #2! Everyone is so excited to be here! A line of campers and their families formed outside of the dining hall as Camp Director Matt Rickman had his weekly opening meeting with counselors, counselors in training (CITs) and program staff. Once the meeting was over, the Camp ASCCA staff went to their designated positions and got ready to start the week!
Session 2 kicked off with a pool party for Cheaha, Redstick, Cherokee, and Creek cabins. Campers this week crowded around the basketball goals to play against each other and their counselors. Those not playing basketball enjoyed floating and talking to everyone.
Today, campers got to participate our new Panning for Gold activity during their afternoon Free Choice rotations. Located behind the arts and crafts building, everyone got to enjoy the scenery while searching for precious “jewels” like Red Rubies, Blue Sapphire, White Ivory and more!
The last full day of Camp ASCCA Session #1 has come and gone! Campers and counselors spent the morning and part of the afternoon enjoying their favorite activities for the last time this week. As the sun began to go down, groups began to head towards the cabin to get ready for the evening activity–the dance!
First of a series of videos featuring ASCCA’s very own campers! This week, we follow Matthew Davis as he rides down the waterslide while sharing
“Giddy-up!” “Go!” and “Start!” are the most common ways that our campers use to get Skip, the horse, going around the equestrian ring. This is one of the most loved activities by campers. Some campers ask their couselors to sign them up for this everytime there are evening free choice activities.
Campers showcased their gifts at the very first talent show of the summer! It was also the first talent show held in the new OutPost. In previous years, talent shows were held in Lion’s Lodge, but the tiki-bar scenery of the OutPost was perfect for the occasion, making it much more intimate and entertaining.
While waiting for their scheduled time at horseback riding, zip tower, or boat rides, campers went to a free choice activity of their choosing like archery. Our Shooting Sports Director Leah Tingle brought out all three of ASCCA’s types of bows: the compound bow, the adapted bow, and our new crossbow.
Take a look at one of Camp ASCCA’s newest attractions! The Outpost is a place for everyone to enjoy their snacks and sing karaoke!
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.
