CAMPER UPDATES
If you ever have a question or concern about your child, how they are adjusting to camp life, interacting with their counselors and other campers, or even just liking the food, we encourage you to contact our Directors by emailing info@echohillcamp.com. We are more than happy to give you an update at any time. Likewise, if we ever feel your child is struggling for some reason (for example, homesickness), we will reach out to you, explain what’s happening and let you know how we are helping them work through the issue. In all such cases, we will work together to help your child.
USPS MAIL
We encourage you to WRITE YOUR CAMPER as often as you’d like. At camp, mail is a BIG DEAL! Your camper will enjoy receiving cards and letters. Mail is delivered to campers after lunch Monday – Saturday. Give out the camp address to friends and relatives too! Your camper is encouraged to write you back and share their camp experience with you. It’s a great idea to practice addressing an envelope with your child before they arrive. Send Mail to:
Your Camper’s Name
Echo Hill Camp
13655 Bloomingneck Road
Worton, MD 21678
ELETTERS
We are happy to be able to offer you CampMinder’s email program. Using the same secure username and password that you used to enroll your child, the “Email” tab in the Camp Portal, will allow you to send a certain number of emails to your camper. You can also create guest accounts for grandparents and other relatives. Every morning, we print emails and deliver them with the camper mail after lunch. These emails are printed by 12pm so any email you’d like sent out that day, needs to be received prior to 12. No camper mail will be delivered on Sunday’s.
If you would like to receive handwritten letters from your camper electronically, you can request a response by clicking next to the box “I would like a handwritten eLetter reply to this email.” Alternatively, send your camper with eLetter stationery! You just print the pages at home and send them with your camper(s). The camp office will scan your camper's letter to CampMinder, and you receive the handwritten letter into your eLetter inbox.
CARE PACKAGES
Though mail is highly encouraged, Care Packages are not allowed. Instead we have Candy Canteen occasionally and the campers LOVE it! Please contact the office if you feel your child needs something necessary. Any package sent accidentally will remain in the office until departure day.
If there is a special need or birthday, please contact the office at info@echohillcamp.com.
PHOTOS AND CAMP EVENTS
We know how important it is to you to feel connected to your child while apart. We are happy to be able to offer you CampMinder’s Photo Gallery. The Photo Gallery may be found in your Camp Portal. Are hope is to keep it updated weekly each session, however the busy summer may not allow time for this fun extra. In March, the highly anticipated Yearbook, chock full of hundreds of photos and memories from the summer, will arrive! Every year on December 28th and 29th we hold a winter reunion for the campers that attended camp that same year. (PENDING COVID)
