Camp Echo is a traditional, coed, sleep-away camp located about 90 minutes from New York City. Our unique, child-centered world becomes a home away from home each summer for our campers, ages 6-16, and staff members. The community and friendships we build together through caring and trust last a lifetime.
Our camp is situated in a beautiful natural environment, including a private lake and 200+ acres of fields and wooded trails. Our surroundings provide the perfect setting for trotting horses, rowing boats, hitting balls, riding bikes, discovering trails, painting canvases, roasting marshmallows, and making new best friends. All this just a convenient and comfortable distance from the greater New York City and Philadelphia areas, making arrival/departure effortless for kids and Visiting Day a pleasure for parents!
Camp Echo is far from just another summer camp! Come along… read more… discover the adventure of a Camp Echo summer!
