This summer Teen Adventure Camp is featuring a fun new activity. Our friends at Tag Party are going to come to Mercersburg and bring 2 hours of laser tagging fun! Mercersburg has plenty of wide open spaces for Tag Party to set up their barriers and give our teen campers a fun experience they won’t forget! However, if you think laser tag is the only reason to get excited about Teen Adventure Camp, you forgot about white water rafting, bowling, a trip to a high ropes course, Hersheypark and so much more! Come join us this summer!

Position: Senior Counselor
Profile: A senior counselor can often be picked out in a crowd. The counselor is predisposed to loud cheering, singing, table banging and general yelling. They also tend to have a fantastic sense of humor, often looking on the bright side. The insatiable appetite for fun of a senior counselor is only challenged by that of a camper. In the summer our counselors are typically: sitting in the front row of a rollercoaster at Hersheypark, triumphantly raising their paddle in the air while rafting down the Youghiogheny River, Singing at the top of their lungs at a campfire, defending home base in capture the flag, evading an onslaught of dodge balls in end zone, climbing atop a high ropes element at a challenge course, careening down the slip ‘n slide, and thrusting themselves to the forefront of any number of fun camp activities. Adventure camp is a unique two week experience where we hope that each and every camper has the time of their lives and who better to take campers on this journey than our counselors?
See if you might recognize a few…

Mercersburg Summer hits the road every winter to share and promote our unique summer opportunities. Most often these trips include camp fairs hosted everywhere from malls to school cafeterias. While these events certainly attract some great families who are eager to learn about summer opportunities, it often reminds me of a trade show where everyone puts their best face forward and it might be hard to get the real scoop on summer programs. This year, in addition to camp fairs, Mercersburg Summer has been lucky enough to be invited into several of our Ambassador families’ homes in order to talk about our camps. Here we get to sit down with friends and family of our ambassadors in a comfortable setting and, through our campers, talk about the meaningful experience that Mercersburg Summer provides. It also gives us a chance to catch up with some of our favorite(everyone) campers!

Holiday Greetings from the Cabin Inspector!
It’s hard to believe the holidays are here! It seems like yesterday when I was having Thanksgiving dinner with my family and wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
In my humble opinion, the holidays are the best time of the year…well, maybe behind summer at Mercersburg, but they both are equally awesome. Camp at Mercersburg is a Summer Wonderland, while the holidays are a Winter Wonderland, and I am glad I can celebrate them both each and every year!!!
The absolute best thing about the holidays, and of course camp too, is seeing old friends. For example, check out my picture below. Guess who Chris and I found at a basketball game this weekend? Do you remember him from a year ago? It’s none other than Jake Simon! Jake, along with Chris, wanted me to let you all know that it’s all about “Junior Boys forever!!!” and the “TORNADOS!!!” (Sorry, we couldn’t help showing a little bit of our tornado pride…look, Jake is even wearing a red shirt, he’s still ready for the H-T competitions!) And as the Cabin Inspector, let’s not forget that the junior boys did win the last cabin inspection, so as a result, they are the reigning cabin inspection winners ’til this upcoming summer!
Anyway, I hope each and everyone one of you has a safe and enjoyable holiday season this year. And remember, the Cabin Inspector, much like his good friend Santa Claus (who also wears Tornado colors…coincidence? I don’t think so, haha!), never takes a day off, so be sure to be on your best behavior! Until next time, take it easy and be sure to check back for more blogs!
