Well, it’s that time of year again…time to gather with the people closest to you and celebrate the great American holiday that is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday. I just love everything about it. There’s family, turkey, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, and did I mention TURKEY?
However, the best thing about Thanksgiving is remembering what you are thankful for. Every year, the thing that I am most thankful for is my family and friends, both at camp and back home. In fact, a lot of the friends I made at camp actually feel like a part of my extended family, and I am sure you feel the same way too about the friends you made over the past summer. I have been working at camp for over four summers now, and I have been very fortunate to meet a lot of different people and to make a lot of friends along the way as a result.

Hi everybody! When I’m not at Adventure Camp, I’m usually in Montreal, the city where I go to school. You’d think it would be easy for me to forget about Mercersburg’s peaceful pastures and all the summer fun of Adventure Camp up here in the north, but I’m constantly reminiscing about these past summers! Whenever I find myself up high somewhere and my fear of heights kicks in (which happens pretty often), I always think back to the high ropes course we did with Teen Adventures at Cedar Ridge – I saw a lot of fearless campers that day, and I’ll never forget the way they inspired me to conquer my fears! That memory has definitely helped me to feel a little less weak in the knees when I’m more than two stories up.

Ding Ding Ding! This year’s Mercersburg Adventure Camp Prize for the most clever costume goes to Celia Konowe with her phenomenal interpretation of Poison Ivy. I bet it wasn’t hard getting candy in this sweet get up. Thank you Celia for sending us your picture, we can’t wait to have such awesome creativity back in adventure camp this summer!

Hey, everybody! It’s good to see you again! Right now, I’m at the school library hitting the books. Or, maybe I actually just caught a book!
Anyway, this time of year is always cool. World Series baseball is here, and football is in full swing. But most of all, I love Halloween. It is one of my favorite holidays, because it reminds me so much of camp. However, even though I get to dress up at Halloween, it is still not the same as dressing up for cabin inspection. Remember those? I’m sure you all are practicing cleaning your rooms at home, so you can hit a home run during cabin inspection this upcoming summer.

It is extremely hard to believe that we are almost halfway through the last week of Adventure Camp. What an awesome summer it has been. These canoers seem to be enjoying their time at Cowan’s Gap where the Great Outdoors have taken many a Mercersburg Camper. Canoers learn the basics of paddling, participate in relay races and have been known to conquer an obstacle course or two while at Cowan’s Gap State Park where the water is calm and everyone is comfortable getting their sea…. well, lake legs!

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.

One of several Great Outdoor selections at Mercersburg Adventure Camp is Geocaching. Geocaching may seem like one of the duller outdoor activities but after an hour or so, it becomes clear that it is ever bit as interesting as horseback riding, kayaking, mountain biking, etc. On the full day, geocachers go to James Buchanon state forest and scour the landscape for caches left by others and even plant some of their own. Their is one thing this day is not, boring!
Mercersburg Summer is a one of a kind experience where kids from all backgrounds can come to expand their interests. Be sure to check out one of our programs today!
