Memorial Day Weekend Family Camp
Kick off the summer with a fun-filled family weekend at Echo. Archery, arts & crafts, mountain biking, fishing, canoeing, nature walks, team elements, land sports, and high ropes activities fill the days; campfires and other fun family activities round out the evening. Weather permitting we'll have swimming, sailing, and water skiing.

Memorial Day Weekend is a time away from "city life" with opportunities to relax or get involved, as you wish. There are times for family activities as well as separate activities for adults and children. Meals are provided Friday dinner through Monday lunch.

Family Camp Weeks
You and your family get ample time to experience the full range of activities and programs Echo offers: swim, sail, relax with a book on the beach, take a field trip to pick blueberries, enter the talent show, square dance, challenge yourself on the high ropes course, and much more. Ring rides on the horses are free; trail rides are offered for an extra fee. Meals are provided first day dinner through last day lunch.

Labor Day Weekend Family Camp
Close out your summer with a weekend at Echo. There's time for swimming, sailing, water skiing, archery, arts & crafts, mountain biking, fishing, canoeing, nature walks, team elements, land sports, high ropes, campfires, and other evening activities. We plan to offer the same horseback riding options as Family Camp week. Meals are provided Friday dinner through Monday lunch.
