Down, Down, Do Your Dance!

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!

Giddy-up!

“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.

Who’s Got Talent

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.

Archery Afternoon

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.

We Scream for Ice Cream!

Today after dinner, campers and counselors all enjoyed free choice activities! A few groups were lucky enough to go to the Demo Farm and make homemade ice cream! Program staff employees Mary and Briana led the exciting event.

Fourth of July Camp ASCCA Style

Fourth of July celebrations began bright and early as campers and counselors showed up in their finest patriotic attire at flag raising. Morning rotations continued as usual, but the real celebration began at dinner!

Pool Party, Take 2

We think it’s safe to say that the first full day of Session 1 was a success! Earlier in the day, campers enjoyed various activity rotations with our awesome Program Staff, ate some tasty food and ended the night with even more fun. Our campers who enjoyed free choice activities on Sunday night got to make a splash with their friends at tonight’s pool party!

Overcoming Fears

Today was the first full day of activities and smiling faces filled Camp ASCCA! Two campers overcame some of their biggest camp fears… the water slide and zipline!

Serve Sunday!

The first day of camp came and went quickly! Some cabins attended a pool party while others enjoyed evening free choice. One of the most popular activies was tennis! Making it a Serve Sunday!

Bingo at the OutPost

While some campers and counselors ended their first night with a pool party, others headed down to the OutPost for Bingo! Led by members of our Adventure Program Staff, campers were able to play several rounds by themselves or with the help of a counselor. Whoever reached Bingo first got to pick from a selection of prizes which included things like bubbles, a cloth phone case, bracelets, HotWheels cars and more!
