Dear Camp Families:

For the last eight years, Dan Doyle has served as an NCAA Distinguished Lecturer. A principal focal point of Dan’s addresses has been the subject of leadership. Over this eight year span of time, Dan has developed an acclaimed interactive leadership session that affords the students an opportunity to actively participate in the session and, in the process, begin to develop a coherent leadership philosophy. Dan has refined this model to employ with younger children.

On June 26, we are pleased to offer two age-based leadership sessions, both of which will be directed by Dan.
