Volcanoes, magic, and sculpting, oh my!
As Week 2 of Session 3 gets fired up, our campers dive headfirst into their second round of Enrichments and Outdoor Activities! It’s never a dull moment at camp, and it goes without saying that campers and counselors alike are having the times of their lives!
The morning was spent jumping from one exciting Enrichment to the next. Some campers headed over to the wild world of chemistry, where they found out what happens when vinegar and baking soda mix (if you don’t know yourself, perhaps you need to find the closest MAC camper and ask!). Blue volcanoes, exploding bottle caps, and tons of smiles were common sights during the morning! Campers also found themselves learning the wonderful art of the slight of hand–the Mystical World of Magic was full of exciting tricks and the sound of several people asking, “Wait, how did you do that?!”
The afternoon was spent in the great outdoors, where our campers picked up their paddles, carabiners, hiking packs, and helmets and made their way out into the wilderness. From kayaking, to canoeing, to rock climbing and wilderness survival skills, our MAC campers will undoubtedly be extremely well-versed in the great outdoors by the time they leave Mercersburg. Let’s be honest–who wouldn’t want to spend the day on the water since the heat wave finally broke? Our campers navigated the waters at Cowan’s Gap today with ease and eager smiles. Luckily for them, their counselors make learning easy–any passerby could hear laughter echoing from across the lake, and it was undoubtedly coming from our MAC campers!
Tonight was the ever-popular competition of Capture the Counselor. Unfortunately for our campers, MAC counselors are very well-trained in the art of hiding. Dumpsters, trash cans, high oak trees, the underbellies of cars, and anywhere in between, you just might find a counselor! You can hear the yells echoing across the valley as we type–only time will tell who the winner is!
