Description
Mercersburg Adventure Camps blend a traditional residential summer camp atmosphere with a modern school setting, enhancing the growth of every child’s mind, body and spirit. Adventure Camp’s unique structure features a camper-to-counselor ratio of 3:1 and challenges campers aged 8-14 to grow and explore in a positive and encouraging environment. Campers find enrichment adventures in multimedia, visual arts, performance arts, history, and science. Campers discover adventures on the fields and courts as well, learning and playing various individual and team sports. Outdoor adventures feature mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, hiking and orienteering, Civil War battlefield excursions, and horseback riding. Off campus adventures and trips complete the Adventure Camp experience.

For our youngest campers, Mercersburg offers Junior Adventure Camp for ages 7-8. Campers will experience our enrichment, outdoors and off-campus programs at an age appropriate level. With caring counselors and a kid friendly environment, Junior Adventure Camp is a great first sleep away experience. Mercersburg also offers Teen Adventure Camp for ages 15-17. This program features the same focus on enriching and challenging activities, good times, and great counselors as Adventure Camp. Tailored to teens and their interests, Teen Adventure Camp includes specialization in enrichment areas, multiple outdoor activities, sessions on personal and social issues, and good old-fashioned camp fun. Mercersburg Academy's beautiful campus serves as the base for the Mercersburg Adventure Camps. Located in south-central Pennsylvania, rolling hills encompass over 300 acres and include expansive athletic facilities, a working farm, and wildlife habitat areas. A nationally recognized secondary school provides the ideal setting for a wide range of exciting opportunities in learning, personal growth, and fun. Mercersburg’s state-of-the-art academic facilities include a 62,000 volume library, full computer networking and internet access across campus, extensive science labs, audio and video production areas, and outstanding fine arts studios. Come to the mountains of Pennsylvania and experience the summer of a lifetime!
