Each summer, the Camp ASCCA Camper of the Year is chosen by the summer staff. The staff comes together to nominate ten campers, and after those are voted on, the Camper of the Year is chosen from the top three. The staff members individually consider campers and what make each one special to them.
We recently gave you a sneak peek of a few projects we are working on here at camp, and we are excited to keep you updated as they continue.
The weekend was full of challenging, outdoor activities for the Lakeshore Foundation’s event Operation Rise & Conquer. The visiting group was made up of injured military members from around the country taking on challenges that many of them did not think they would be able to do since their injury occurred. However, the ASCCA staff along with the Lakeshore staff reassured every person that where there is a will there is a way, and all of the weekend’s activities were adaptable for anyone interested in participating.
“There is no physical limit to human achievement,” is a quote that you will find on the home page of the Lakeshore Foundation’s website, and this weekend’s event, Operation Rise & Conquer, is proving just that.
The Lakeshore Foundation has arrived for a weekend of activities during the Lima Foxtrot’s “Operation Rise & Conquer.” Lima Foxtrot was designed to provide year-round, sport, and recreation programs for injured military, and this weekend we have a lineup of programs full of challenging and leisurely activities.
Each year following an incredible summer of camp, we often have new surprise projects in the works, and we are here to help you keep track of it all!
We have had a busy month of September, and as we approach the end, we have one more fun event planned as October arrives. On Thursday, a group from the Lakeshore Foundation in Birmingham, will travel to Camp ASCCA for a weekend of water activities, zipline, yoga, and more.
This weekend a group of local Campfire Girls visited Camp ASCCA for a Saturday of fun. Upon arrival, the girls were welcomed by ASCCA staff and spent a few minutes greeting each other and checking out the schedule for the day.
Today is the first day of fall, and the Junior Leadership Lake Martin group knew just how to celebrate. This morning, high school students from around the county traveled to camp for a day of group elements to learn more about each other and the importance of teamwork as they continue through the Junior Leadership program.

“We don’t get to do things like this very often,” was a statement I heard from parents throughout the weekend as families visited with the Autism Society of Alabama for Camp Frog.
