YMCA Camp Mason is a YMCA summer camp located in Hardwick Township, New Jersey. The 650 acre site is located next to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.〔http://find.acacamps.org/camp_profile.php?back=search&camp_id=477〕 Camp Mason annually serves approximately 800 campers in its summer camp programs, and 7,000 participants at its outdoor center. == History == Established in 1900 as YMCA Camp Washington, YMCA Camp Mason was founded by the Trenton/Mercer YMCA. A small group of boys and YMCA leaders camped on property near Washington Crossing, PA, owned by the family of Edward Marshall. In 1903 the family sold an island property on the PA side of the Delaware River (Marshall's Island, also known as Eagle Island) to the Trenton/Mercer YMCA, who moved the camp there and renamed it YMCA Camp Wilson. In 1955 a flood inundated the site, and the camp relocated to Hardwick, NJ, changing its name a third time to Central New Jersey YMCA Camps. In the late 1970s the camp changed names again to YMCA Camp Ralph S. Mason to honor the man who was instrumental in rebuilding after the flood. Ralph Mason served as the volunteer Chairman of the Board of Trustees for 35 years. His son Tom Mason is the Chief Volunteer Officer and the current board president.
