YMCA Camp Echo: Summer Camp & Teen Trips

Summer Camp & Teen Trips

Caring ... Honesty ... Respect ... Responsibility

Why choose Camp Echo?
Quite simply, we believe that our program, staff, and facility are top-notch. But don't take our word for it. Year after year parents responding to our post-camp surveys agree that their child had a safe and fun experience, felt included, and had counselors who were good role models.

"My children, all three of them, absolutely LOVE Camp Echo! They wait all year for summer to arrive, so they can return. My 9 year old started longing for Echo in March!"
