YMCA Camp Tockwogh’s mission is to foster healthy living and social responsibility through the development of independence, confidence, lifelong learning and character in youth, teens and families, and it is part of the YMCA of Delaware, an association of people of all ages, ethnic groups and religious affiliations that focuses on Christian principles of love, caring, inclusiveness, justice and peace. Staff training covers CPR/First Aid, life guarding, horseback riding, and boat driving. The camp’s programs teach the values of five pillars: caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and inclusion. As early as 1910, the Board of Directors of the Wilmington YMCA began offering camp for boys, the YMCA purchased Tockwogh in 1938, added a family camp week in 1946, invited the Wilmington Young Women’s Christian Association to co-sponsor a girls’ camp in 1961, and welcomed girls for the full summer starting in 1963. YMCA Camp Tockwogh is open and in full operation from mid-April to mid-November and has expanded to serve groups of up to 95 people throughout the winter.
The YMCA of Delaware describes itself as an association of people of all ages, ethnic groups and religious affiliations, and YMCA Camp Tockwogh commits to an ongoing exploration of camp programming in relation to racial inequity and First Nations naming conventions, working to ensure that all people have equitable access to a positive summer camp experience. One parent from Summer 2022 shared that their son came back from camp more confident and said he felt like he did not have to worry about anything except the moment he was in and could enjoy each moment without distractions like his phone.
