Biographical/Historical Note
Camp Moy Mo Da Yo was a girls camp founded in 1907 in Limington, Maine by two school teachers from West Roxbury, Massachusetts, Helen Mayo and Elizabeth Moody. The camp was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Carl Peterson in 1947 and again in 1967 to Mr. and Mrs. Herbert B. Downs. The camp closed in 1972. A reunion of former campers in 2007 led to the reopening of the camp and it now functions as a day camp for children during summer months.
