Camp Becket Director David DeLuca has spent more than 15 years in the field of YMCA camping. Prior to Becket, he directed YMCA camps in Missouri and Vermont. He is entering his seventh year as the Director of Camp Becket. We seek to achieve a program balance between instruction and recreation, activity and relaxation, group involvement and individual accomplishment. Each camper is helped in choosing those activities that meet his special interests and needs.
Instruction is of the highest quality and is always age-appropriate.
The cabin group is the focus of camp life at Becket. Each morning the group of two counselors and eight campers takes part in an activity planned by the group itself. Shared responsibility, cooperation and democratic decision-making are essential ingredients of the life of each group. The counselor carefully guides these activities to allow the special qualities and interests of each boy to shine through. Afternoons at Becket are set aside for skill-building activities.
