Today at Camp ASCCA we had a few Norwegian visitors! Yes… Norwegian!
This group came to us as part of their stay here in Alabama with the Group Study Exchange (GSE) program of Rotary International.Camp Administrator John Stephenson and I are both members of the Alexander City Rotary Club, and our club was hosting the group for the weekend. Last night we were introduced to Team Leader Sverre and other team members Anita, Sissal, and Toleff and a Rotary dinner at Cecil’s Public House restaurant in Alexander City.
After a brief shopping trip to the Russell Retail store, the group stopped in at Camp ASCCA for a tour of our facilities. I was able to show them the camp video and share all the accessible recreation we provide here for children and adults with disabilities.
At the end of the tour, John and Camp Director Matt Rickman, hosted lunch for us with grilled food of all-American hot dogs, brats, and sausage. The grill masters also fixed up some grilled onions and pineapple as well!
This afternoon the group is headed over to Children’s Harbor for a tour of their facilities and an afternoon of touring Lake Martin. How beautiful it will be.
Rotary in Alabama has done so much for Camp ASCCA and we are always proud to show other Rotarians and Rotary visitors how much Rotary means to us!
