Description
Why Camp Echo?
Beyond our great facilities and location, what
makes Camp Echo in Coleman High Country really
special is the quality of the people who spend
their summers here. This includes our campers,
of course, and all of our staff members – counselors,
supervisors, and directors as well as our very
important support staff – administrative, kitchen,
maintenance, and medical. All of these people
come together at Echo to form a close-knit community
where everyone is supported and challenged
to be their best. At Camp Echo, our Cabin Counselors
and most Activity Counselors live in cabins with
campers. Others will live in all-staff cabins. This means
that no matter what your position, you will have a
close relationship that's like family by the end of the
summer. Friendships with your co-counselors
and your campers may last a lifetime; we find that
they often do. You will be amazed at the changes you
create in the campers’ lives. They will look up to you
and emulate you. They will see you as someone
who’s old enough to know all the answers and
young enough to still be “cool”. What you say
and do may stay with a child for years; they’ll
remember the way you cheered them on at the
ropes course when they thought they couldn’t go
any further or how you read them stories at night
when they missed their parents or their dog (and
they will!). They’ll go home with new skills, new
friends, new awards, and new role models. At the
end of the summer, they’ll be proud of all their accomplishments
at camp, and they’ll attribute a lot of their success to you.
Plus, Camp Echo is fun! There are new
activities to try, great nearby areas to explore on
your days off, and memories to make that will last
a lifetime. Here, you’ll be working and living in a
community of children and young (some young-atheart)
adults. We also spend a lot of time outdoors
– playing, exploring, and discovering the adventure
of a Camp Echo in Coleman High Country experience.
We look forward to welcoming you!
