“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!”

Camp ECHO and ECHO Extreme
Camp ECHO, for grades K-8th is ready and waiting for you this summer! 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 new skills, make friends, and have a memorable summer. In addition to arts, crafts, sports, and games, campers will explore the outdoors through fishing, hiking, scavenger hunts, treasure hunts, and more. We are offering a modified version of our traditional camp due to the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and the restrictions and guidelines necessary. There will be no field trips and swimming this summer but we look forward to delivering an outstanding, fun, and safe camp experience for our community. Below are a few details about our safety protocols and it is recommended to read our Camp ECHO Safety Guidance, Protocols, and Summer Guidelines.
- Campers and staff will be required to wear a mask.
- To maintain the lowest possible risk, groups will not exceed 10 people, including the group’s counselor.
- Space for activities and transitions will be structured in a way that allows for social distancing.
- Parents will have a short chat at drop-off about general wellness to ensure that everyone who comes to camp feels healthy.
- If a camper is sick, stay home for at least 72 hours symptom free.
- Each grade level will have their own supplies and bathroom stall to utilize to lessen the spread of germs.
- All frequently touched surfaces will be cleaned and disinfected throughout the day.
