Even though Mercersburg Summer Central typically stays summery no matter what the outside world may say, we do acknowledge that the time for all of our favorite campers to return to the academic realm is fast approaching. We wish everyone a fantastic start to the new school year and have one piece of advice, go into your classes with style! Mercersburg Summer veterans are well prepared for the first day of school given their experience with breaking the ice, meeting new people and making everyone feel welcome! Stay tuned to our media page for photo, video releases and updates if you’re in need of a Summer boost!

This particular session of MAC and Teen Adventures, Mercersburg hosted kids from all over the Mid-Atlantic United States but also from both France and Spain. Ordinarily, these countrymen do not go out of their way to befriend each other, but at adventure camp it’s a whole different story. In Teen Adventures, Charles(from France) and Guillermo(from Spain) put aside their national differences very early on and realized that they had a whole lot in common. They both love sports, camp and mischief. You can tell how close they became looking at this picture on the slip ‘n slide, we will miss them. It was a pleasure having them at camp and watching them enjoy each other’s company.

This session of MAC, campout included an extra little treat. Stargazing! Mercersburg Academy faculty member Jim Malone came out to our very own astronomy shed to share his love for astronomy with our adventure campers. The night was perfect, without a cloud in the sky and a crescent moon hanging beautifully above the Mercersburg valley.

Every enrichment at Adventure Camp has a culminating project of some sort. Whether it’s a big magic trick in Mystic Magic, a tasty treat in culinary delights, or a dance number in Modern Dance. This session Katie Viverette’s Dance class is composing a final dance to Michael Jackson’s thriller. I can’t wait to see the final project, but whatever happens, it looks like they’ve had a blast doing it.

What a whirlwind! Session 2 is almost over and I’m gonna have to think about saying good bye to all my new best friends soon. Well, no sense in worrying about that now, there’s fun to be had! I have had the best time putting my nose in MAC and Teen Adventure’s business, and they don’t seem to mind! I got to go to Hersheypark the other day with Teen Adventures and I did not want to leave! Do you know how much chocolate they make there? I haven’t gone rafting yet, but I have a feeling its on the horizon… I just have to remember to tie my life vest tight, I’m not as buoyant as I look. All of the fun I’m having at Adventure Camp is enough to blow my ears back!

Hello again from Sonny the Adventure camp canine! I have been having another amazing summer here in Mercersburg. In fact, I just got back from a day at the beach. I put on my trunks, splashed around in the water, put my shoes back on and played some soccer in the grass too! Cowan’s Gap State Park Beach is the perfect setting for an Adventure Camp excursion. I even got to help build a sandcastle. Campers went for a swim, had fun in the sun and spent some quality time with the fellow campers and counselors. Stay tuned, I have a feeling its only going to get better!
