Camp ASCCA Welcomes Sean Jaco to the Full-Time Staff!

We would like for you to join us as we welcome back Sean Jaco as the new Director of Health Services! Jaco’s first summer at Camp ASCCA was back in 1988, when he first worked as a counselor. He later worked as program staff and head counselor. After his early summers at Camp, he received a degree in Nursing from the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 1997. He has two children, Shelby and Caleb.

One of his greatest camp memories was when he was the best man in his former camper’s wedding. His friend’s name was Donovan. Jaco was his counselor for only one summer, but they formed such a close bond that they became best friends after camp. When asked about his favorite session of the summer, he chose Mobile Rotary Week because in his words, “Everyone on that bus knows each other, and they’ve been coming to camp for years. So when they remember me from when I was a little sprout, it makes me feel good.”

After many years of working in the hospital environment, he later returned to Camp ASCCA as a summer nurse in Summer 2013. His daughter also worked that summer as a Counselor-in-Training. After that summer, he continued working as an RN in Huntsville, Alabama. However, he could not stay away, and he returned as a summer nurse for Summer 2017 and Summer 2018. As the position for Health Services Director came available, Jaco knew this was the place for him. He is excited to be back in a full-time role and always reminds everyone that we are “living the dream!”
