Day 3: Session 1: Let the games begin!
Mercersburg Adventure Camp is no stranger to a little friendly competition, and Day 3 of camp was no different! Both the MAC and TAC campers had an exciting, fun-filled day at Adventure Camp–between interesting Enrichment Activities and on-the-edge-of-your-seat Outdoor Activities, our campers are constantly on the go. Let’s be honest, though–who wouldn’t want to make delicious treats in Culinary Delights, or make paper airplanes in Physics? Don’t even get me started on the Outdoor Activities! MAC and TAC campers spent the day rock climbing, horseback riding, kayaking, and caving. Talk about exciting!
What’s even more exciting is the ongoing camp battle of HURRICANES vs. TORNADOES! Read on to find out what went down!
Decked out in their red bandanas, the Tornadoes swept the boards in last night’s Capture the Flag battle. Not to be beat, however, the Mighty Hurricanes (looking super cool in their blue bandanas), made a valiant effort to protect their turf. The game lasted far past sunset, and the sounds of battle cries and celebratory yells could be heard all the way up on the third floor of Fowle Hall.
The third day of Adventure Camp, however, gave the Hurricanes a chance to win some bragging rights of their own. The two camps split, and the MAC campers headed towards the pool, while the TAC campers threw down on the soccer field. The Hurricanes vs. Tornadoes soccer game was definitely World Cup quality, while campers and counselors played side by side. Trust me when I say that the game was intense. Camp Battles are serious business, and our TAC campers made tonight’s soccer game a battle worthy of applause!
While the TAC campers battled it out on Regents’ Field, our MAC campers splish-splashed their way to victory in Flanagan Pool. The Hurricanes and Tornadoes donned their bathing suits and goggles for a series of exciting competitions that would have made Poseidon proud! Turtle Races, Ping-Pong Grab, Biggest Splash, and Smallest Splash were just a few of the different water competitions that our MACsters dominated in. Both the Hurricanes and the Tornadoes brought the heat–scores of 10 and 9 were being thrown up left and right for our Splashers!
All-in-all, Day 3 was definitely one for the Mercersburg Adventure Camp record books. One can only hope that the forecast continues to call for inclement weather. Last I heard, IT’S HURRICANE AND TORNADO SEASON!
