Overview

McGaw YMCA’s Camp Echo is an experience like none other. Campers come away with new skills, confidence and friendships that broaden their perspectives and strengthen their character. Parents have trusted Camp Echo for generations, because it provides an experience that helps build self-confidence, leadership, and a deeper respect for the environments and communities we live in.

Designed with progressive programming, our summer camps provide a path for continued growth from youth through adult years with a variety of camp activities. Many campers begin their Camp Echo experience at an early age, attending Family Camp with parents and siblings, or however you define family. Starting the summer before 3rd grade, campers can attend traditional summer camp programs. As campers grow into their teen years, there are a variety of wilderness and leadership programs that provide a pathway for those who want to work at Camp Echo.
