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.

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!

As part of Adventure Camp, our kids enroll in Outdoor Adventures, where they head off to exciting places and learn a thing or two about the wilderness. Whether they’re geocaching throughout the area, learning how to tie knots and start campfires, or learning about the wide world of animals, there rarely is a stone that goes unturned. Luckily for me, I was able to tag along with our Wide World of Animals group and experience all of the amazing animals down at the National Zoo!

Hey, MACsters!
Before I go into my post about the day, I just want to make a quick announcement & direct your attention to our Flickr page. Things had been looking a little unkempt & in disarray, but we’ve fixed everything and have made it much easier to navigate. If you know someone in MAC, TAC, or even in one of Mercersburg’s special sports camps, you can simply follow THIS LINK and take a look around! Hopefully this will be a lot easier for those of you who frequently check the Flickr. Please let us know what you think! We love to hear feedback, & your opinion really means a lot to us!
Now that business is taken care of, I suppose you want to hear about the MAC campers’ day of outdoor adventures & their night at the cinema!

Mercersburg Adventure Camp is no stranger to a little friendly competition, and Day 3 of camp was no different! Both the MAC and TAC campers had an exciting, fun-filled day at Adventure Camp–between interesting Enrichment Activities and on-the-edge-of-your-seat Outdoor Activities, our campers are constantly on the go. Let’s be honest, though–who wouldn’t want to make delicious treats in Culinary Delights, or make paper airplanes in Physics? Don’t even get me started on the Outdoor Activities! MAC and TAC campers spent the day rock climbing, horseback riding, kayaking, and caving. Talk about exciting!
What’s even more exciting is the ongoing camp battle of HURRICANES vs. TORNADOES! Read on to find out what went down!

We hope everyone had an awesome school year & that you’re all ready for a super fun summer at Mercersburg! This past week, all of your counselors have been training for all the adventure we have planned for this summer, and we’re super excited to meet each and every one of you! From white water rafting, to a day trip at Cowan’s Gap, we’ve been experiencing everything that you’ll be doing this summer. From these five short days, I can definitely say that this summer will be one for the books. We hope that you’re ready to go–bags packed, smiles on, and LOTS OF EXCITEMENT!
