About Sue Roccia, Camp Director–

Sue grew up in East Falls and spent many years at McDevitt playing sports, hanging out with friends, and attending the camps herself. She’s worked for the Parks and Recreation Department since she was 16. She decided to run the McDevitt camp because of her fond memories of the Rec and the gratitude she feels for the guidance from past counselors, “especially Tom ‘Red Dog’ McNicholas!”

  1. My grandson will be visiting me this summer from Pottstown. He is 12years of age and I am looking for a trustworthy and a reliable camp for him to attend this summer. Please forward me an application via email. I live in Landsdowne, PA and selected your camp because he will be between both of his grandparents. I look forward to hearing from your soon.
