  I went here with my students for their junior trip. I have to say, the staff are super accommodating and friendly, the atmosphere is calming, and my kids loved it! Especially the rock climbing wall and archery range!

  Camp guy is not a kid friendly person, rude, harsh, impatient, and inappropriately addresses kids behavior for just being kids excited at camp. Makes rude comments to kids in front of parents and staff, not a welcoming feeling for them. Other staff has been great all day. Loved volcanoes and team building with other staff Scully and Rebecca

  I’m sad to be writing this review but hope it helps others. I went to camp Duncan as a chaperone for a school trip. Our school has been attending camp for over 10 years. Sadly, ownership and staff have changed and not for the better. The staff director (Kyle) yelled at our group of elementary students for the entire 2 days. He snapped at us, belittled the kids, asked them “what’s wrong with you?, and demanded complete silence from 100 people every time he spoke. Our kids are well behaved and respectful. It seems the staff do not have training in early childhood and perhaps should not be working with school aged kids if they don’t have the knowledge of what developmentally appropriate behavior looks like. Our kids look forward to this trip all year and the staffs attitudes really but a damper on the whole trip. What should be a couple days of pure joy was made complicated by lengthy instructions, knit picking, and a power struggle between grown adults and children. I hope they can do better, because the magic of this camp that once existed is gone.

  Doing amazing work giving children a respite while teaching them self confidence and friendship in an environment of fresh air, open space, and outdoor activities - away from smart phones and social media. Offers several specialty programs, including (highly recommended) Family Camp.

  We attended the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest Experience. It was real nice. The warm weather made it 10x's better.
