This past Friday, English as a Second Language Camp concluded their five week journey in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. Students from all over the world hopefully had a rewarding, American, English speaking experience and we know that we enjoyed having each and every one of them. Every student was able to experience a practice TOEFL test thanks to nearby Dickinson College where participants and teachers alike were able to assess their progress! Final grades have been sent out and our wish is that every student is able to take what they learned and expand upon it until we see them again next year! It looks like we have sent off 72 international students who have a better understanding of American boarding school culture and can speak, listen and write English more confidently than before.

Thanks to Martin Ma for sending us these great pictures from his time here at Mercersburg Summer during our ESL+ program. The first picture is of the ESL+ campers in front of Ford Hall here on campus and the second pictures is of the group sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, pretty cool, huh?

We hope everyone is excited for summer 2010. Tim McQuait, Ashley Alles and Betsy VanLangen are all returning to Mercersburg because they just couldn’t get enough! Contact us if you need information and don’t forget March 16th is another discount day and another opportunity to get 15% off registration.

The ESL Camp geared up for some bowling just the other day!

It was so much fun to watch
The campers were so sweet … they even offered for me to join their team!!

The more I am around them, I swear their English is getting better and better… or maybe I am just getting to know everyone a little more!

Either way, I had a blast hanging out with them.. it was a great trip!

More soon!

The Young Writers Camp went to Cowan’s Gap this afternoon. It was the perfect kick-off to their weekend off from class!

Swimming, sand castles and the books they got from their guest author yesterday kept them busy all morning.

Robotics had their final challenges today before they headed home. I can’t believe they are done already! The week went by so fast.

The ESL campers are also taking a break from classes this weekend… they are off to NY tomorrow!! I can’t wait to hear all about their trip.

More soon!
