About Echo Grove Camp and Retreat Center

For many kids, summer camp is the first time they will see the world outside of their neighborhood. Each year, Echo Grove welcomes hundreds of children from low-income families to enjoy fresh air, exercise and new friendships through our annual summer program. This experience is more than just a few days away from home. Here, children learn new skills and self-reliance. Trained counselors who understand their emotional needs and problems help them mature and grow. Camp activities include learning to swim, scouting, arts and crafts, music development, sports and much more in a Christian-based environment.
