Dear Friends and Prospective Camp Doodles Families,

After nearly 2-months, the Camp Doodles site at Dominican University is perfected...in our new 5,000 square foot building we've finished setting up our art room, game room, "doodle den" and even painted a bunch of kid-friendly murals on the walls. Want to visit? We'd love to host you and some friends to come by and check out the new site. Do set up a time with us as we're in and out of the building every day.

The response has also been great - we've got lots of families taking advantage of our early registration discounts and getting their kids signed up for the summer at doodles. Woo hoo!

Camp Doodles could begin tomorrow...everything is ready and we're excited for June to hurry up and get here!

One of our counselors decided to have a Beach Party with her group of
girls. They brought towels, made "oceans in a cup" (jello, life-
savers and a swedish fish) and brought out a baby pool to soak their
toes in...what a perfect way to prepare for our big LUAU day tomorrow.

LUAU week - what fun!

Last week was our "LUAU" carnival week at the greatest summer camp in Marin...Camp Doodles! This is a week where the campers, in their small groups, are responsible for creating a carnival booth for our big carnival held at the end of the week. From making flower lei's to tie-dye, we had a blast. Our 2nd-6th graders even managed to fit in a field trip to the San Francisco Zoo.
