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.

At 94 degrees, there really was no cooler place to be today than kayaking on the river. Each camper headed out for their full day great outdoor activity this morning. Whether it be climbing, hiking or horseback riding, there was plenty to keep us busy! It is definitely one of my favorite days at camp. No matter what session, there are always new and exciting adventures in store.

Young Writers Camp went on a field trip yesterday to HBP printing where they got to see how a work goes from an idea to a book! The great staff there gave the students, what had to be, an inspiring and eye opening tour of the print process.

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.

At Mercersburg Adventure Camp we try and make it so that there is always something to look forward to. Today we worked with the JAC campers to make some stop motion videos to help us keep in touch with all of you during the year!
We thought we might give you a sneak preview of today’s creations that you can keep a look out for during the year.

Walking across campus today I was lucky to stumble upon the Young Writers Camp engrossed in a trust building activity. At first, I found this scene a bit odd. However, the group’s facilitator, Michelle Poacelli, informed me that the group was getting ready to read their work publicly, one of the most vulnerable experiences one can expose themselves to, and this trust exercise was preparing them for their showcase. In the picture there is a girl with a blindfold and her teammates are guiding her through the train maze only using words, I hope she made it!

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!
