I have been to a lot of camps, but there’s no place like Camp ASCCA. Camp ASCCA is a special place, and the friendships are valuable. I went for 8 years, and those 8 years were filled with the best nights, mornings, days that I have ever experienced. The first year I got homesick, but the staff was capable of making me feel like I was at “home.” Amber Cotney who is the Program Director was the one that held me by the pool for the first year when I cried because I was homesick.
I had a lot of favorite counselors, starting with David Baker, who was my very first one. He was awesome. We threw water balloons at the girls cabins, and he woke me up in the middle of the night and fed me something if I was hungry. My other favorite counselor was Jack. We picked on each other a lot, like brothers. We also picked on Amber and Aubrie like every day! He gave me a hard time, but I gave it right back!
My other favorite counselor was Will. He wasn’t my counselor but he also treated me like a brother, and we hung out a lot. At first, I thought he was mean, but he was actually a really cool guy. My other favorite counselor was JJ. We were pretty good actually, we didn’t get on each other’s nerves. We just did our own thing, and we hung out in the Eno a lot and chilled.
As you can tell, I like to joke around a lot. Honestly, Camp ASCCA and its staff are amazing. I loved getting to be there and getting to do all the activities and make friends. I’m still friends with many of the people I have met there over the years. I hope everyone gets a chance to go there!
