Mercer welcomes youngsters ages 6 to 17 to its campus each summer for participation in Camp College, Sports Camps, Tomato Patch Visual and Performing Arts Workshops, and Specialty Camps. Camp College, for children ages 6 through 12, is offered in one three-week and one four-week session. Participants in this innovative program develop a personalized schedule from more than 60 choices. Camp College also offers Specialty Camps for ages 6-14 in one-week sessions. In Mercer's Sports Camps, campers may choose from 13 popular sports for weeklong sessions taught by high school and college coaches and college athletes. Tomato Patch is Mercer's theater, dance, vocal music and visual arts program for youngsters entering grades 5 through 12, which includes a performance and exhibit at the end of both sessions.

Tours of Mercer's extensive camp facilities will be available. Facilities include computer labs, television studio, Olympic-size swimming pool, tennis courts, cafeteria and more. The 2008 summer season starts June 16 and ends the week of August 4 for Camp College and Sports Camps. The Tomato Patch season runs from June 23 to August 8.
