ASCCA Happenings

Christmas Weekend 2009


This year's Christmas Weekend was so much fun for everyone! Friday night we began with a Christmas Party where the campers made cookies and ornaments with their counselors. The campers also enjoyed a wonderful visit from Santa himself! Saturday morning the campers got up early to head off to the Auburn Mall to go Christmas shopping for their families! Then it was time to load back on the bus and head to Callaway Gardens in Gerogia to see Fantasy in Lights! Sunday morning, it was time to wrap Christmas gifts! The ASCCA Staff and Campers had a great time this weekend as you will see in this slideshow!



MD/PD Fall Weekend


The campers at Camp ASCCA are very fortunate to have opportunities to attend camp throughout the year. Each Fall, Camp ASCCA devotes a weekend for our Physically and Mentally Disabled campers. This year, the Fall Weekend happened to land on Halloween. So, as you will see, campers enjoyed a dance and all of ASCCA's activities plus pumpkin painting and carving as well as a Carnival! Enjoy the photos from this weekend on Flickr.
