Things are happening at Camp Duncan!	and

Camp Duncan (Thunder Bay United Church Camps Inc.) is a Historic Children's Camp located on the east end of Loon Lake. Owned by The United Church of Canada and managed by a Not-For-Profit Board of Directors comprised of members from the regions United Churches, it has offered summer retreats for generations of youth, parents, councellers, and the area social service organzations.

A quick look at our Bookings page calendar and the many smiling faces in our historic photos are evidence of the value and fond memories that generations have enjoyed.

In 2025 we began exploring a new idea of bringing a Bluegrass/Folk Music Festival to Loon Lake in support of Camp operations, but also in development of a new beginning and fellowship oppotunities for the camp community.

Mark August 15, 2026 on your calendar if you are interested in attending, playing, or volunteering for this one day festival. And Click the link below for more information as we storyboard this new experience.

Bluegrass Festival Details

 

	Camp Clean-up Day June 2026 Rentals start June 12 2026 so i'm guessing Saturday June 6, 2026 would be a great weekend to get some fresh air at the camp and share some coffee and lunch with friends.
	Lakehead Region Conservation Authority (LRCA) and Volunteers at Camp Duncan undertook shoreline restoration on the Camps waterfront on Loon Lake last summer (2025). In November 4th's board meeting I was pleased to hear that the native vegetation is healthy and reports of caterpillars and Monarch butterfly's enjoying milkweed plants are a beautiful site to behold. Read more or better yet get involved with exciting projects that help our waterways and lands thrive for generations to come.

Cabins 7 through 10 are looking sharp in this recent photo after complete new trussed roofs, and all new siding. Fall 2019 saw insulation and interior ceiling work for cabins 3 through 9.

And back in 2018 upgrades included complete electrical overhaul of the power to the cabins.

This picture shows the deck built onto Wesley United's Camp 9.

This is just one of the many improvements made in the past few years at Camp Duncan.

This fireplace and wall was the work of true craftsmen
from St. Paul's United Church in Thunder Bay.

Many of the churches have gone out of their way to make Camp Duncan far more pleasureable by constructing decks on cabins
and improving interiors and exteriors since the Adopt A Cabin program began under leadership of Gerry Poling and Linda Hammond.
