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!
After a hearty breakfast the younger JAC campers headed out to “the Barn” to try out some rock climbing! Harnessed in and using all fours and grabbing with all their strength they were able to scale the mighty walls! Counselors and our certified climbing instructor were all there to make sure all the kids were having a fun and safe time. After lunch, all of the JAC campers loaded up and headed to the historical Antietam Creek to do some tubing! Smiles were abundant as they laid back and floated down the river- they even got a special treat by seeing a turtle and some big canadian geese! Later in the day they returned to Mercersburg to find that a carnival had been set up while they were gone!
Hamburgers, hotdogs, corn dogs, cotton candy, popcorn and snow cones were enjoyed by both MAC and JAC campers! There was also a giant inflatable obstacle course and a dunk tank set up! And lets not forget the traditional carnival games- ring toss, balloon pop, and ball toss!
But lets rewind a bit for the MAC campers. MAC campers started the day off with enrichments, leaning things like magic, contemporary dance, photography. The physics class was even building model rockets! After lunch they headed to they Great Outdoors to do activities like canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing and learning wilderness skills! The big highlight of the night (after the carnival) was the opening ceremonies of Hurricanes vs Tornadoes and the drafting of team members! The first competition included an intense game of capture the flag! Campers from each sided ran across the middle line to search high and low for the opponents flag! One team prevailed. Drumroll please………the HURRICANES! But no worries Tornado fans, there are MANY more HvsT competitions to come.
