What a Great Monday at Mercersburg!

July 18th, 2011

Here are some updates on TAC, ESL, and the MAC juniors:

Today, Derek and I followed the TAC’s around for a few hours to check out their exciting enrichments. I started at “Iron Chef” where the kids made their own specialty pizzas and cooked them in the Ford Dining Hall with the help of Sarah Jean:

They took some funny photos when they were waiting for the food to be ready:

I also visited the “Art Attack” classroom where Rachael and the kids were working with clay:

They showed off their cool tie dye t-shirts that they made earlier in the week:

Derek caught some great action at the “Mad Science Lab”:

“The Laugh Factory”:

And the “Adventure Camp Record Room”:

All the classes looked like a lot of fun! After hanging out with the teens, I stopped by Tippets Beach to photograph the ESL campers having a blast on the slip n’ slide. Check out the fun below:

For dinner, I met up with the MAC juniors on the ford patio for a delicious cook out.

Some of the boys played four square while they waited for the food:

It was a jam-packed day and we can’t believe how quickly time is flying by! (There are only three full days of MAC and TAC session two left) : ( But we know that the campers have tons of fun-filled adventures ahead before they go!!

Catching up with ESL + Theatre + Young Writers

July 12th, 2011

Greetings,

It is apparent that the camp cam team has been neglecting ESL, YWC, and Theater camp for the past few days so here is an explosion of updates!

So this morning I jumped around from class to class in the ESL territory. I found the campers in Rutledge Hall and the Library, my first entrance in both buildings, this was quite the adventure for me…

Here’s what I found:

After I visited ESL I went down to the dance studio in Burgin to see what the Theater kids were up to.

Turns out they were practicing acting through body language and facial expression.

After lunch I did some interviews with the Teen Adventure Camp while Zoe caught up with the Young Writers Camp.

Looks like there was a crime scene to be investigated. The campers gathered up clues and got the chance to create write their own story about about what they thought had happened to Matt, the dead clown.
