More About Camp
Whether it be theatre, writing or robotics, Mercersburg Summer has a camp for you!
Join us in a summer adventure for robotics explorers. Campers engage in programming using icon based Robolab 2.9.3 in addition to utilizing math, science, and technology to construct their own robots and tackle basic computer programming as they engage in various, unique projects. A hands on approach guides our scientific simulation for future biologists, researchers, and engineers. Campers leave Robotics Camp with enhanced teamwork and time management skills as well as improved creative problem solving centered on robotic applications. Additionally, campers build a concrete understanding of science and math principles through friendly competition that rewards the efforts of all campers.
Explore and expand your awareness of the many elements of theatre in two dynamic weeks that bring the stage and young people together. Young performers will gain skills in improvisation, stage presence, body movement, vocal techniques, character development, ensemble work and problem solving. This unique experience exposes actors to the technical elements of lighting, sound, make-up and costume design. The workshop culminates with a performance featuring all actors. Recreational activities include movie night, open mic night, campfire, a trip to a professional theatre performance at venues such as the Kennedy Center, and a talent show.
Build writing skills and unleash your creativity in an electric environment that offers much more than a classroom. Explore the beauty of poetic style and the power of your own voice on paper. Language is at the core of life and our campers learn new and liberating ways to express themselves through the written word. By combining an exciting range of activities with workshops, seminars, and individual conferences, we help writers think, and write, creatively. Mornings at camp are dedicated to style technique and command of language while afternoons are open to specialty workshops chosen by campers. Recreational activities range from rock climbing, swimming, tubing on Antietam Creek, and field trips.
