Mercersburg Summer

Mercersburg Swim Clinics

tim — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 20:11:02 +0000

This summer Mercersburg Academy is sponsoring it’s very own Swim Clinics. 2 sessions in June that will help swimmers from 9-18 excel in the pool, but also have an awesome week on campus! While United Swim Clinics has run programs at Mercersburg in year’s past, a program producing 30 olympians and led by aquatics director, Pete Williams, who has participated in four olympic games can certainly speak for itself. Our beautiful Nolde Athletic center is the perfect setting to improve your stroke over the summer and Mercersburg is the perfect place to go to camp! Learn more about the Swim Clinics HERE and Register Today!

Happy Valentine’s Day from everyone at Mercersburg Summer! Love is in the air and we are spreading the love with an extra 10% off camp until February 29th. Sonny Summer does not have a valentine yet, and underneath his cheery demeanor, he is heartbroken. See if you can cheer him up on Facebook!

Valentine’s day falls almost directly in the middle of camp fair season for us and you can learn more about our upcoming travel plans from our calendar HERE. If you happen to be free and can stop by we would love to see you! Meeting new families is great but seeing familiar faces is always a treat. Email Tim Crouch at croucht@mercersburg.edu if you would like to stop by. Here’s what our booth will probably look like(Just imagine a friendly face in there as well!).

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, well, almost. Around here we’re pretty partial to summer too. In the spirit of the holiday season, Mercersburg Summer has released two special holiday carols that will hopefully help our campers reminisce about the summer days and get in a festive mood at the same time!

If you haven’t already, make sure you reserve your spot in camp using HOLIDAY10 for 10% off. This offer expires December 31st.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Turkey Day from all of us here at Mercersburg Summer! We hope you have a terrific holiday with family and friends. At Mercersburg, we’re so thankful for the throngs of great kids who come to us every year and make summer so special. It sounds like we’ve got a lot to be thankful for!!!

Get your costumes ready!

It was another lovely day in Mercersburg, PA when I happened upon two strangers in very snazzy costumes. Who would have thought that these two worked for Mercersburg Summer? If you think you’re costumes are better, send them in to us HERE!

Rain, Rain, Go away

The rain is turning Central Pennsylvania into an Eastern version of Seattle. It seems like the perfect day to post some pictures from Young Writers Camper Christopher L. Chris was a returning writer and was kind enough to send us some pictures from his awesome Dark and Stormy Summer. I hope you enjoy the following photographs and remember a fun summer amidst the dreary rainfall.

Back to School!!!

Summer is over until it starts again

Mercersburg’s Campus has a different feel to it without the myriad of boisterous campers attacking every activity with a torrent of unbridled excitement and energy. The dining hall is a formal place, where banging on the table would get you excused and shouting at the top of your lungs is an equally serious offense. Classrooms are filled with students fastidiously absorbing instruction from Mercersburg faculty. These sophisticated spaces now housing intensive curricula ranging from the fine arts to science and math were once the site of adventure camp’s renowned enrichments where campers enjoyed exploring the reaction between diet coke and mentos in Old School Science Lab, an impromptu photo shoot in Digital Photography or the unpredictable slapstick of the Laugh Factory. Mercersburg’s expansive sports fields, home to numerous varsity athletes this fall, remember the days when hundreds of screaming kids and teenagers valiantly battled on their grounds for either the hurricanes or tornadoes in capture the flag, relay races, tug of war and unforgettable marathons. A campfire pit nestled in an alcove of trees tucked away in the back corner of campus recedes into obscurity content to rest and relive the nights of epic camp medleys, cheers, skits and camper testimonies. This place will never be the same, until next summer.

Last Day of Camp!

It’s official, MAC has ended for the summer! We’re sorry to see everyone go. =[

As you settle in at home, campers, check out today’s pictures! We have the pictures from peace wars and closing ceremonies… and they’re all on Flickr, so check that out! But in the meantime, here are some! First off, the new hit collection, Portraits from Peace Wars!

JAC also had their last day today. The JAC campers went rock climbing at the barn!

And then everybody got together at Burgin to attend final ceremonies and exchange some tearful goodbyes.

Goodbye, everyone! We’ll miss you, and we hope to see you next year!
