Our daily programming includes a rotation of traditional and more modern camp activities. Examples include Arts and Crafts, Athletics/ Archery, Music and Drama, Science and Nature, STEM activities, and DAILY life saving society swim lessons! Our groups are cohorted into small sections, with high counsellor engagement.

Each Mooredale camper is placed in a cohort with others the same age. Cabins are grouped into the following sections:
     Junior Section: ages 4 & 5
     Intermediate Section: ages 6, 7, and 8
     Senior Section: ages 9 to 12

Mooredale Day Camp operates out of a beautiful, historic mansion built in 1902 which includes in-door air conditioned spaces, a large outdoor playground. In addition, MDC accesses a variety of local parks and facilities for its programs.
