Mercersburg Junior Camps

Mercersburg Academy is recognized as one of the top prep schools in the country with facilities that rival any in the nation. The Smoyer Tennis Center is a 14 court state-of-the-art complex and is complimented with a 10,000 square foot triple-gymnasium, a fitness center, a 9-lane swimming pool, 8 outdoor athletic fields and both an indoor and outdoor track.

Conveniently located, well supervised, air-conditioned dorms and the dining hall are central to the sense of well being that is created for the 10 to 18 year old co-ed camper.


The academy is located in south central Pennsylvania about mid-way between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and about 90 minutes from the Baltimore, MD, Washington, DCand Harrisburg, PA metro areas.

Please be sure to check with your respective airlines regarding their policies for releasing minors at destination airports if their camper is younger than 15 years old. We do not have the capability to meet or pick up campers at the Mercersburg Airport and many airline carriers are informing us that, for security reasons, they will only release juniors younger than age 15 to a specified person who can present picture identification to a gate agent at the time of pick up.
