Molly has worn many hats at the the Lake View YMCA and most recently (a sombrero) comes to us from the Aquatics department. She hails from, Pennsylvania, but has had experience running various camps in Florida, Maryland and her home state. She is looking forward to bringing her diverse camp background to the Lake View Y. She absolutely loves the camp experience where we, as counselors, can make a positive impact on the children we serve each and every day and where sometimes the purpose of an activity is simply to HAVE FUN!
Favorite Hobbies: cooking, dancing, reading, canoeing and any type of board game
Favorite School Subject: Math
Favorite Summer Memory: I was honored to participate in our first ever Watermelon-Eating Contest last summer and I look forward to making it a camp tradition!
