S-P-O-R-T Sports Camp is the Place to Be

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.

Throwback Thursday

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.

I “Goat” a Bath!

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.

B1! G8! N5!

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.

2017 Cabin Themes!

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.

Free Choice Aquatics

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!

The Domino Effect

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!

Talent Time!

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!
