Camp ECHO & ECHO Extreme

“Love Camp ECHO! We have done other camps and this by far is the best. We especially love that nature is the focus.”

“This was the first year my daughter has attended Camp ECHO and she cannot wait to go back next year!”

“This is a great program! My kiddo loves going and making new friends!”

“You always do a fantastic job of hiring counselors that work well with the kids. I appreciate seeing the roster and knowing that many of them are college aged students focusing on early education, physical fitness related or other health related majors. They are setting a great example for younger ones. Thank you!”

This camp is jam-packed with a variety of non-stop activities that will keep your child going for the entire day. The majority of the day is located outside where children play, exercise, gain independence, learn life skills, make friends and have a memorable summer. In addition to arts, crafts, sports, and games, campers explore the outdoors through fishing, hiking, scavenger hunts, and more. There will also be swim days and field trips weekly. A field trip list is available here.

Camp counselors are mature and enthusiastic high school students, college students, and adults who provide a noncompetitive environment for children to relax, have fun, and be kids. Most of our counselors have been with the Park District and the camp program for a number of years.

The youngest age for Camp ECHO is 5 years old and the camper must be entering kindergarten in the fall. If your child is younger than 5 years old, or is 5 years old and not entering kindergarten, please consider Sunshine Camp.
