This week, March 14-18th, 21 young men representing 5 colleges/universities have come to Camp ASCCA to make it a better place!
For 18 years, members of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity nationwide have visited Camp ASCCA to work for the annual Push Camp, a project of Push America, the fraternities national philanthropy.
Indiana University, Moorehead State, University of Alabama Birmingham, University of South Alabama and North Georgia College & State University were all represented.
The members are working on a new shade shelter for the accessible horseback riding ring, a decking area and pathways for the new accessible waterslide, pathways at the pond, and much, much more!
According to the Push America website:
And Push Camp is described as:
Pi Kappa Phi members come together for three separate weeks during the month of March for an “Alternative Spring Break” experience. These events take place at selected residential camps around the country that serve people with disabilities. Student volunteers renovate or construct buildings or other accessible projects in addition to completing much needed wish list projects. Grant recipents are responsible for securing lodging and meals for the volunteers. Push Camp grants do not exceed $5,000 and must be at least 50% matched with in-kind or
matching gifts. The entire amount of the grant must go toward the purchasing of materials for the Push Camp projects.
