Hey y’all! My name is Christina Brown, and I am a new blogger for Heaven on earth (Camp ASCCA)! I am going to talk about my experience with Camp ASCCA. I have Friedreich’s ataxia, which is known to attack all the muscles in my body, so I am very limited on things that I am able to do, but at Camp ASCCA I can do everything that I am not able to do in the real world. That is why I call it heaven on earth, because it is very much like heaven. When I go to heaven, I will be able to do anything and everything.
When I was little, I had always wanted to fly, not fly in an airplane, but literally fly! At Camp ASCCA, I get to do the zipline, which feels like flying, so I got to live out my dream!
I was told about Camp ASCCA when I was 16 years old, and it has been a huge part of my life ever since then! I go every chance I get to go! My first year I was nervous to do almost everything, but I still did it, and I loved EVERY bit of it!! The zipline was, and is, my favorite activity! I love all the activities!!
In 2015 I was very very shy, but you can’t be shy at Camp ASCCA, so I came out of my shell pretty fast!! During the talent show I danced to the song “Tootsie Roll,” and I made labels for tootsie rolls that said “rolling for prom queen” and threw them into the crowd while I was dancing. I think that was a big hit!
I’ve always dressed up for the theme days, I love dressing up, and the past two years I’ve designed and made my dress up clothes. This summer’s theme is going to be Mardi Gras, and yesterday I went to the store, and saw some cute Mardi Gras earrings. I went ahead and got them. I’m starting early! I have a cricut and a sublimation printer, that is what I like to do outside of camp, and I like doing artwork!
I can’t wait to be back at Camp ASCCA! ASCCA is having their first fundraiser concert on Saturday January 21st at 7pm. It’s $20, and ANYONE is invited! It’s going to be so awesome, and the band is one of my favorites, Red Clay Strays. You already know that I’m going to be there!!
Located in Alabama on Lake Martin, Camp ASCCA offers campers a wide variety of traditional recreational and educational activities with a unique design for accessibility.
