Camp Tockwogh was founded in 1938 when the YMCA of Delaware purchased the grounds on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake bay for $15,000. The address is 24370 Still Pond Neck Road, Worton, MD 21678.
Although located in Maryland it actually belongs to the YMCA of Delaware. Over time, the camp expanded facilities and amenities and additional land with campers and counselors contributing improvements to camp property. Tockwogh added family camp week in 1946 as well as weekend groups during the off-season. Camp is now 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. In 1961, the YMCA invited the Wilmington Young Women's Christian Association to co-sponsor a girls' camp at Tockwogh. The first years, girls came to camp for three weeks. In 1963, they came for the full summer. The number of girls keeps increasing each season. Attendance at camp continues to grow with some 2,000 campers during the summer season and more than 6,000 during the conference season from September to April.
