YMCA Camp Duncan has, since 1923, offered a transformative camping experience that promises no less than these life-affirming benefits:

  •  The opportunity to bond with caring counselors and staff who model core YMCA values of honesty, caring, respect and responsibility.
  •  The assurance of making life-long friends.
  •  The prospect of achieving goals once thought impossible.
  •  The chance to be accepted as you are and learn form others.
  •  The adventure of getting to know people from diverse cultures and countries.
  •  The joy of communing with nature and learning how to protect the natural world.

    • These are benefits that last a lifetime, according to board member Mrs. Ellen Sorensen, who served with her husband and camp director, Peter Sorensen, from 1933 to 1966.

    "Camping isn’t just a childhood experience that’s forgotten once it’s over.  For many children, Camp Duncan becomes like a second home. After all these years, I still get calls from West side boys who are the Camp’s oldest alumni, talking about how prominently their camping years figures in their lives. Then and now, Camp Duncan builds spirit, mind, and body while giving children the time and space to dream their dreams."
    Ellen Sorensen, Board Member, YMCA Camp Duncan

    Art Catrambone, an eight year old camper in 1938 can still recall how he marveled at the night sky so full of bright stars. Art believes that with the help of alumni and the community, Camp Duncan’s influence can continue to reverberate into the next century.

    "It’s essential that we preserve Camp Duncan. By doing so, we can broaden the impact its natural-world setting character-building programming can offer families and communities.  The more we improve the facility and enhance programs, the better we can meet the resident camping, day care, day camp and conferencing needs of both our local community and the metropolitan area."
    Art Catrambone, Chairman of the Board
