About Echo Hill Camp
Echo Hill Camp is
beautifully situated upon a bluff sloping down to a sandy beach on
Echo Hill Camp was established in 1915. It is privately owned and operated by the Peter P. Rice, Jr., family. Peter has over 40 years of experience in the fields of camping and education.
Peter is assisted by his wife, Libby, who is a registered nurse. Peter and Libby have three children who have each spent many summers at Echo Hill. Their eldest daughter, Katie, is one of his Associate Directors. Their middle child, Julie, is an Assistant Director, and their youngest, Peter, is one of the Waterfront Directors.
Peter is also joined by two additional Associate Directors, Penny Weintraub and Annelieke Noordhoek, who have a combined total of 50 years experience at Echo Hill!
Peter is also the founder and director of the Echo Hill Outdoor School which is an environmental school located on the Echo Hill campus and operates throughout the calendar school year.
The camp staff is one of Echo Hill’s greatest strengths. They are innovative and creative people who love children and provide excellent instruction and leadership. Most of the dedicated 55 staff members spent happy childhood summers as campers at Echo Hill and return year after year in hopes of providing the same wonderful experience to their campers.
Health Care Echo Hill has a Registered Nurse in residence 24/7. Dr. Fred Delboy, the camp physician, has his office (Chestertown Family Medicine) in nearby Chestertown and is on-call for us 24/7. Chester River Hospital Center is also located in Chestertown and is available to us if needed.
We have emergency medical supplies and equipment on camp, including an AED, EpiPens, Inhalers and Oxygen.
The Betterton Fire Department and Rescue Squad is 6 miles from camp.
**Important note: Our Health Care staff have championed the fine art of good ol’ TLC!
