The Environmental Center

Sixth grade students from Lee Scott Academy near Auburn visited Camp ASCCA for a 3-day Environmental Camp at the end of April. They arrived before lunch on Wednesday and stayed until after lunch on Friday. During that time the students were able to totally immerse themselves in the camp experience. The 6th graders participated in programs like Dunn Center, Map & GPS, Group Elements, Step Outside & Fish, Zip Line, Living Streams, Lake Testing, and a Nature Hike out to our Eagle’s Nest. They were also able to enjoy some of our nighttime activities like Ball Field Games, Camp Fire, and Night Hike. The kids at Lee Scott were great and we look forward to seeing them again next year!

Recently Dean Road Elementary visited Camp ASCCA for a fun day of Environmental Education. Over 80 3rd grade students got to experience a day at camp, learn a little about the environment, and have fun too. The students were able to participate in our Living Streams, Forestry, Dunn Center, Group Elements, and Zip Line programs.
Living Streams program allows the students to get hands on with animal and insect life in a stream. It teaches the kids the different indicators of a clean stream and lets them get a new perspective on water quality.
The Forestry program teaches the students about forestry, different needs of trees, and tree identification.
The Dunn Center programs allows students to explore our beautiful environmental canter and learn all they can about Alabama’s Natural Resources and then pit their newly acquired knowledge against their classmates in a rousing game of Nature Jeopardy.
Group Elements teaches the students the importance of teamwork and leadership as they play fun and engaging games.
The Zip Line is always one of the favorites with its 30 foot climb and then a swift ride down a “zip” cable.
Dean Road had a blast and we loved having them here.
