Mission At Camp Echo Lake, we are “Dedicated to Human Development. ” In everything we do, we believe that the summer camp experience and community should be a place where the lives of our campers and staff are transformed, where meaningful social and emotional growth for all is the standard, and where everyone in our community is valued and celebrated for the person they are. Both individual development, and group and community connection, are valued and fostered. A community that values equity and inclusion, Camp Echo Lake believes that a positively impactful summer camp experience can change individuals and communities– both in and out of camp – for good. The Echo Lake staff are the most essential piece in creating opportunities for everyone at camp to grow, connect, and have fun. We understand the importance and work diligently to ensure the Echo Lake staff are supported, cared for, and given the resources to excel in their roles and allow our community to thrive. Nothing great happens without great effort and great passion – and Camp Echo Lake is no different. We love what we do – and we want you to love it too!
Description Set in the picturesque Adirondack Mountains, Camp Echo Lake is an ideal setting to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life for campers and staff members alike. However, the true beauty of the camp goes beyond expansive grounds, soaring pine trees and a spring-fed lake. What makes Echo Lake special is an inclusive and welcoming community of people who share a mutual respect for one another, and celebrate the unique qualities of each individual.
With no make up, hair dryers, or electronics allowed, “unplugged” campers are cocooned from outside influence and distractions. For seven weeks, campers spend their days and nights enjoying face-to-face interactions and learning social skills that are difficult to obtain in their otherwise screen-driven lives. Campers thrive in this supportive environment because of the fun that they have learning life lessons that will benefit them long after their summers at Echo Lake are behind them.
Because everyone feels so connected in a community based on respect and support, campers are able to leave their respective comfort zones, and try things that they never would have imagined trying with no fear of judgment or failure. At Echo Lake, our focus is on trying hard and being kind to others. With support from their fellow campers and staff, kids build resilience as they are challenged by our camp program, and “failures” serve as an inspiration to work harder towards achieving a desired goal.
With everyone truly invested in Echo Lake, there is a feeling of closeness that has to be experienced to be fully appreciated. Once you become a part of the Echo Lake community, it will always feel like your home away from home!
