  • We know that your camper may have friends who are attending camp too and that they may be excited to spend time with them. Campers will be able to join their friends during recurring choice time. However, camp is a time of learning and provides many opportunities for youth to make new friends during exciting adventures. Campers will be paired based on enrollment and age. Please note that we cannot accommodate requests for a camper to spend the whole day with one specific friend.
  • A sense of adventure, of course, as well as a backpack with: a lunch, morning snack, water bottle, swimsuit, towel, change of clothes, sunscreen, bug spray, and closed-toe shoes. 
  • Drop off: 6:30 - 9 a.m.
    Pick up: 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.
    Scheduled activities run from 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
  • Yes, our campers experience a full range of summer activities at Summer Camp, including swimming! Campers enjoy open swim time in the pool as well as our lake (weather permitting).
  • 5 year olds: 1 counselor for 6 campers
    6 to 8 year olds: 1 counselor for 8 campers
    8 to 15 year olds: 1 counselor for 10 campers

     
  • We want our campers to truly engage in their camp experience and enjoy their time experiencing adventure with their new camp friends! Therefore, we do not allow cell phones or other electronic devices at Summer Camp. 
  • All medication (including over-the-counter) requires the Medical Form to be completed and submitted upon arrival on your camper’s first day. All medication should be given directly to the Camp Director.
  • We do not go on field trips during the summer. After all, coming to Camp Duncan is like a field trip on its own!
