“Elks Care, Elks Share”… a motto that the Alabama Elks Association members are constantly bringing to life at Camp ASCCA. Since 1976 Camp ASCCA has been serving children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities through outdoor recreation. Camp ASCCA is a special place where campers with disabilities have the opportunity to express their individuality and independence within a supervised setting.
A huge part of Camp ASCCA’s success is thanks to individuals generosity and support of individuals, civic groups, and businesses in Alabama. The Alabama Elks are no exception. Every year, members of the Elks give generously to better Camp ASCCA and all of the lives we are able to serve.
