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!
Today MACsters we given a treat….two extra hours to sleep in! Around here that’s a big deal considering each day is jammed packed with activities. And although they woke up two hours later than usual, today was filled with plenty of activities.
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!
Campers both Teen and Mac campers took to the great outdoors today, exploring a variety of activities such a rock climbing, geocaching, kayaking, wilderness skills, and many others! It might have been a little overcast here in Mercersburg but the sun managed to break through more than a few times and the temperature was great for being in the outdoors! The campers also got to take more of their enrichment classes today, working on films, dances, art, music, and more! They’ll present what they’ve been working on to their fellow campers at the end of the week!
What a beautiful day it was here today in Mercersburg! Mother nature helped us out with some much needed rain last night and managed to keep it sunny and cool for us all day today! It was truly refreshing to have a break from the past few week’s heat!
Today was the official start of Session Two for MAC and TAC campers. It was so nice to see a lot of familiar faces from past years and also this past session. As for our brand new campers, we can’t wait to get to know everyone! Let the fun begin!!
Yesterday TAC finally got to have their chance at Hershey Park. There wasn’t a single non-rider in the group, which needless to say, made it a very exciting day. Click HERE to watch a video of Gespard riding a roller coaster!
Mac campers kicked of the day with their enrichment classes. It was the last one and the campers have been working hard on their projects, including videos, skits, and science projects. Then campers spent the afternoon in the great outdoors doing activities like canoeing, geocaching, rock climbing, and kayaking! It was the perfect day to be outdoors, plenty of sun but not too hot!
The Teen campers got the chance to head to Cowan’s Gap state park to take in the sun and go for a swim. While many decided take the plunge others decided took take a chance to rest on sand as an escape to their usually active schedule. Later in the evening both Mac and Teen campers gathered fireside to sing some songs and share some skits which they created. A particular highlight of the night was our director Tim’s “Snare Nosed Buzzard.”
Campers best get plenty of sleep tonight! They are in for an even bigger day tomorrow! We encourage you to leave us comments and be sure to check out the photos from today on our flickr page!
