The entire camp comes together to reflect on the past week and to celebrate our community and our camp values. While we do not have a religious service, we do have an all-camp gathering each week called Campership. Read more on our Progression page.Īre there religious and/or spiritual services?
Every activity period begins with the teaching of a specific skill and concludes with playing or creating. They offer progressive skill learning in a fun manner, encouraging each camper to achieve his/her personal best while also cultivating an appreciation for every activity. Our counselors are experienced artists and coaches who are trained by true professionals the best ways to teach to children. We offer the highest-quality programming possible in all areas of camp. What is the camp’s philosophy regarding instruction? Read more on our Healthy Competition page. We realize that while it is fun to play, it is even more fun to play your best! That’s why our focus is on instruction.
What is your philosophy regarding competition?Ĭamp Echo is a community where each member cares about, supports, and encourages the others around him or her. Ten-minute calls are scheduled once per session. We have found that structured phone calls help to alleviate the pressure that comes with speaking to loved ones over the summer. Hearing a parent’s voice can be difficult even for our most well-adjusted camper. Phone calls can be the most challenging form of contact for campers. We have supplies for all of the children's needs at the camp. Bunk gifts are not permitted for the same reasons. These packages tend to create unwanted competition and a disruption within a cabin. For this reason we have eliminated care packages. Packages tend to remove the emphasis on camp activities, programs, and friendships. This is a carefully thought-out, healthy policy that helps us underscore the beauty of camp-seven precious weeks, where experiences are real, kids learn to navigate on their own, and success is tangible. Therefore, we have a firm policy banning the use of cell phones, video games, and other electronics, and we appreciate your support. We have worked hard to guarantee that a wide variety of activities are offered every moment your child is at camp there is enough physical and mental stimulation here to render virtual pastimes obsolete. Because every Echoite takes an active part in creating the rules here, “Everyone Knows” the guidelines we live by.
Our policies are set because they make sense for kids!Īt the beginning of every summer, our campers and counselors create a “Code of Living,” a set of guidelines that will direct their actions while at Camp Echo.

With this kind of consistency, children know what to expect, and they begin to learn how to be good members of a community. In a small, close-knit community like camp, policies help everyone to know what is okay and what is not okay.
