Summer at Merri-Mac is packed with new opportunities - fun activities, new skills, and great trips. Even more important, a summer with us is filled with meaningful friendships, personal growth, and individual attention. It is impossible to put into words all that Merri-Mac says or does each summer for its campers. Finally, Merri-Mac is a Christian girls summer camp. We begin each day with a short non-denominational service in our Chapel by the lake. This is a fun time with loud singing and a short message from the Bible. Girls come to camp to have fun. We believe the happiest environment is one in which Jesus Christ's closeness and love for them are demonstrated by the staff and felt by all.

SOAR staff lead expeditions in North Carolina, Florida Keys, Wyoming, California, and Costa Rica.

Youth build self-confidence, develop social skills, work on leadership and communication skills, while enjoying the many challenges of our wilderness areas.

Adventure activities include wilderness backpacking, horsepacking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, wildlife studies, mountaineering, SCUBA diving, snorkeling, sea kayaking and wilderness medicine. Summer expeditions range from two to four weeks in length. Shorter adventures of three to seven days are planned for the spring, fall and winter. Semester-length courses are available in the spring and fall.

The student to staff ratio is low.
