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.

The first full day in Adventure Camp is busy, a little crazy, but mostly just fun. Junior Adventure Campers went out to our rock wall in the morning and then tubing down Antietam Creek. They also had a blast at Carnival in the evening. Talk about a jam packed day! The older Adventure Campers had enrichments in the morning, great outdoors in the afternoon, and the same carnival in the evening, complete with games, a giant inflatable obstacle course, cotton candy and snowcones. Finally, to cap it all off, MAC’s were drafted into either the Hurricanes or Tornadoes in a climactic ceremony in the Simon Theatre. A ridiculously fun day all around, but just an average day at Adventure Camp.

This camp fair season I have the pleasure of attending around 10 camp fairs in the Mid-Atlantic region from Staten Island, New York to Charlottesville, Virginia. Thus far, I have enjoyed being amongst the hundreds of camp vendors who are excited and passionate about the summer opportunities that we have to offer children of a variety of ages and interests(In my unbiased opinion, I feel that Mercersburg Summer has the best options of course!). If this sight looks familiar than you are one of the lucky thousands who venture out during camp fair season every late winter/early spring.
This year, we had brand new banners made and designed by the lovely folks at Tilt Studios and they seem to be a big hit!
