As the last full day of Session 3 here at Mercersburg Adventure Camp comes to a close, a sense of fulfillment and happiness seems to be everywhere you look. From the very beginning of the day, when our campers donned their water gear and took to Spider Field to defend their H/T title during Water Wars, all the way to dusk, where everyone gathered at campfire and shared their favorite thing about camp, it’s obvious that within the past 2 weeks, our kids have made friends for life.

At 94 degrees, there really was no cooler place to be today than kayaking on the river. Each camper headed out for their full day great outdoor activity this morning. Whether it be climbing, hiking or horseback riding, there was plenty to keep us busy! It is definitely one of my favorite days at camp. No matter what session, there are always new and exciting adventures in store.

It is extremely hard to believe that we are almost halfway through the last week of Adventure Camp. What an awesome summer it has been. These canoers seem to be enjoying their time at Cowan’s Gap where the Great Outdoors have taken many a Mercersburg Camper. Canoers learn the basics of paddling, participate in relay races and have been known to conquer an obstacle course or two while at Cowan’s Gap State Park where the water is calm and everyone is comfortable getting their sea…. well, lake legs!

Young Writers Camp went on a field trip yesterday to HBP printing where they got to see how a work goes from an idea to a book! The great staff there gave the students, what had to be, an inspiring and eye opening tour of the print process.

Today we welcomed our Discovery Campers! We’re so excited to have them with us for this whole week. There are so many fun activities in store for them.
MAC campers are keeping busy as usual! We hit a bit of rainy weather today but that certainly didn’t stand in our way. Campers had a chance to climb, learn to pitch tents and hit the pool in their Great Outdoors. Never a dull moment!

One of several Great Outdoor selections at Mercersburg Adventure Camp is Geocaching. Geocaching may seem like one of the duller outdoor activities but after an hour or so, it becomes clear that it is ever bit as interesting as horseback riding, kayaking, mountain biking, etc. On the full day, geocachers go to James Buchanon state forest and scour the landscape for caches left by others and even plant some of their own. Their is one thing this day is not, boring!

A quick update on camp! Todays sunshine provided the perfect weather for our MACsters to head for the Great Outdoors. This time they got to spend a whole day with their activities- rock climbing, canoeing, horseback riding, wilderness skills and others. One of our camera crew was able to tag along with the geocaching group as they searched for buried treasures with handheld GPS units. The JACsters also had an event filled day with many activities including a slip n’ slide and obstacle course!
