Despite the dreary weather that has swept through Mercersburg’s campus, our MAC campers are keeping their heads high and their spirits up! This lucky photographer had the privilege of sitting in on both the MAC and JAC culinary classes during the rainy morning, and it’s safe to say that these kids are not only athletic, funny, and smart, but they’re pretty darn talented, too!

The first full day in Adventure Camp is busy, a little crazy, but mostly just fun. Junior Adventure Campers went out to our rock wall in the morning and then tubing down Antietam Creek. They also had a blast at Carnival in the evening. Talk about a jam packed day! The older Adventure Campers had enrichments in the morning, great outdoors in the afternoon, and the same carnival in the evening, complete with games, a giant inflatable obstacle course, cotton candy and snowcones. Finally, to cap it all off, MAC’s were drafted into either the Hurricanes or Tornadoes in a climactic ceremony in the Simon Theatre. A ridiculously fun day all around, but just an average day at Adventure Camp.

Today MAC and JAC campers had an action packed day! And the small bouts of rain didn’t hold anyone back from having an awesome fun time!

Today was the start of Mercersburg Adventure Camp Session Three! We also kicked off the first session of JACs (Junior Adventure Campers) and Young Writers.
The JAC campers really got the ball rolling this evening (both literally and figuratively). Todays after dinner activity included a riding in a roller ball down the hill of our famous spider field. It’s one of those things us adults wish we were small enough to do!
MAC is also off to a great start! Kickball, relay races… the fun is only just beginning so stay tuned for more updates

This particular session of MAC and Teen Adventures, Mercersburg hosted kids from all over the Mid-Atlantic United States but also from both France and Spain. Ordinarily, these countrymen do not go out of their way to befriend each other, but at adventure camp it’s a whole different story. In Teen Adventures, Charles(from France) and Guillermo(from Spain) put aside their national differences very early on and realized that they had a whole lot in common. They both love sports, camp and mischief. You can tell how close they became looking at this picture on the slip ‘n slide, we will miss them. It was a pleasure having them at camp and watching them enjoy each other’s company.

As Session 2 of Adventure Camp comes to a close, our MAC campers have gone out with quite the wet & wild finish! On our last full day, the MAC camp spent the morning partaking in their Hurricanes vs. Tornadoes competitions–eating competitions, relay races, and all-around good fun were had by all!

My wish for adventure campers is that they not only have an amazing two weeks of camp trying new things and meeting new people, but through that experience they realize that they are capable of much more than they may have previously thought. They are capable of rafting down the Lower Youghiogheny River at break neck speeds, climbing a tower at Cedar Ridge Adventures, getting up in front of the whole camp on skit night, and above all else, helping each other do all these amazing things!

This session of MAC, campout included an extra little treat. Stargazing! Mercersburg Academy faculty member Jim Malone came out to our very own astronomy shed to share his love for astronomy with our adventure campers. The night was perfect, without a cloud in the sky and a crescent moon hanging beautifully above the Mercersburg valley.
Mercersburg Summer is a one of a kind experience where kids from all backgrounds can come to expand their interests. Be sure to check out one of our programs today!
