Talent Time is a very popular program developed by one of our staff members to allow children to express themselves through a variety of different talents. Talents range from singing to most flexible to funniest noise to hula hooping to longest 1-footed hopper. As you can see, some are very "typical" talents like singing and others are a bit on the goofy, "not-so-typical" side.

We strive to maintain a very caring, all-inclusive environment at Camp Doodles. While naturally, "put downs" are not accepted, the ambiance surrounding camp is such that we rarely need to remind anyone to respect everyone. It is a given. Every child who performs a talent is publicly applauded for being brave enough to participate and then is asked to sit on the stage alongside the other "performers" with their eyes closed. A staff members randomly places their hand over the head of the participants to judge the crowds support. When the staff member has decided who received the most camper support, all participants are asked to open their eyes and the crowd gives them a loud round of applause while the selected person or group chooses from our prize box. Campers not only feel comfortable participating in "Talent Time", they remind us constantly which talents we should add to our camper repertoire.
