We caught up with Program Director Devyn “Doodle”
and asked her a few questions! Doodle has been involved in
Mooredale for almost her whole life, her most recent roles
include Camp Junior Program Director in 2019 and as the
Recreation Programs Assistant this past school year. She knows
Mooredale well and is always willing to lend a hand.
Doodle, what is special about Mooredale Day Camp?
The great thing about Mooredale is the community connection;
we are a tight knit camp! Most staff have been at Mooredale
together and have known each other for years. Also, many staff
members were campers. I started when I was 4, which I think is
pretty unique.
What are you looking forward to this summer?
I am looking forward to bringing campers the experience they
missed last summer. We have A lot of fun to catch up on!
What is one easy & fun activity you could
recommend for campers to do while they are at
home right now?
ABC Hunt – Look through you home to find an item for every
letter in the alphabet. For an extra challenge for older campers
try and make a story with the items you have found – silly or
funny stories are the goal. Write it down or act it out, using the
items or with a sibling.
Thanks Devyn!
We cannot wait to welcome you to the Summer 2021
