Camp ASCCA Easter Seals

Camp ASCCA Easter Seals is the world's largest camp of its kind providing therapeutic recreation for children and adults with disabilities. The age range for campers is 6 to 96. Open year-round, Camp ASCCA is a barrier-free environment and is located on Lake Martin in Alabama. Camp ASCCA offers horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, fishing, arts and crafts, rappelling, zip-line, water tubing, archery and riflery, mini-golf course, paved nature trails, and much more!

ASCCA's goal is to serve those who can derive maximum benefit from the resident camp experience and provide a healthier, happier, longer, and more productive life for children and adults of all abilities.
