Ashlie Lauderdale Makes a Great First Impression at Camp ASCCA!


Ashlie Lauderdale just finished her first summer as a counselor at Camp ASCCA, and her amazing spirit and ability won’t be forgotten!

…anytime Ashlie could see the campers having fun was a joy…

Ashlie heard about Camp ASCCA through fellow counselor Samantha Haggerty, and the two girls decided to work together for the summer. Ashlie is beginning her freshman year at Auburn University this week, where she plans to study theater performance.

Ashlie says her favorite camp activities this summer were the pool and arts and crafts, but anytime that she could see the campers having fun was a joy! That’s why she especially loved Teen Week–the Teen Week campers have a different energy about them than our adult or child campers, and they love to talk about how much fun they’re having!

There were a few difficult aspects of being a counselor for Ashlie, like wheelchair transfers, but her constant smile hid any doubts she held! She also appreciated being able to completely be herself at camp. To meet Ashlie and see that smile for yourself, click on the video below!
