Jessica Guthrie is spending her second summer as a counselor at Camp ASCCA, and she has proven to be invaluable to our staff! Jessica’s sister, Kelly, worked at camp two years before Jessica began, and Jessica knew she had to be a part of Camp ASCCA, too.
…Jessica Guthrie is a two year veteran of all Camp ASCCA has to offer…
Jessica’s advice to new staff members is to “stick it out,” and “put your all into it.” That’s exactly what she’s done this summer, and her efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. Jessica spent a week feeling under the weather, and unfortunately she had to go home to recover. She was determined not to miss any more of camp than she had to, and she was back in time for the next session and going strong. According to Jessica, that’s the kind of attitude required to get the most out of your time here!
Jessica spent five weeks at Camp ASCCA’s Dadeville Campus before the regular sessions started, which means she’s been working for several more weeks than most of our other staff. You might think being a counselor for such a long time would exhaust her, but Jessica says that each of her campers has been a “blessing.” Her favorite thing about camp is watching the campers’ expressions when they’re having fun, and the more people she can give that experience, the better!
The most important thing Jessica sees that the campers take with them after a week at Camp ASCCA is friendship, and she says she has found increased patience and a sense of responsibility. Meet Jessica by clicking the video below!
