Two couples, who met at MB, founded the camp: MB history teacher, Delbert Andrews, and his wife, Emma Belle, who worked as the secretary to the school’s Treasurer; and Ray Dorman, MB’s Director of Athletics, and his wife, Peggy Peacock Dorman, who oversaw the girls’ dormitory. From 1941 to 1958, long-time head of MB’s lower school, Dick Allen, and his wife, Alice, were also on the senior staff at WAVUS. Today, the connection continues thanks to an MB alumnus who has made The Alice & Dick Allen Scholarship available to a selected girl who is either a Moses Brown student or the child of a Moses Brown faculty or staff member. For more information about the scholarship, please contact Jane Barrett at jbarrett@mosesbrown.org.

Moses Brown School has offered rewarding and exciting summer programs for 50 years. Moses Brown is a Quaker school. Many of the traditions and values that are a part of the Friends’ philosophy find expression in our camps. All camp programs work with the basic belief that everyone has something to offer. Reflection and consensus are important; simplicity is valued; differences and diversity are celebrated.
