We are happy to share with you a small sampling of comments and thoughts from our camper's parents. In addition, we will provide specific references at your request so that you may speak directly to Echo Hill campers and their parents.
“Thank you for doing all you do. Our daughter is at her happiest at Echo Hill in the 3 summers she has been so far. It has really boosted her self esteem, and she is so happy with the wonderful friends she has made. Camp has also made her more independent, which is a source of pride to her as well.”
“You do a fabulous job of helping kids unwind and letting them just chill.”
“This was a huge step for my daughter in that she had never spent that much time away from us and she did not know anyone going into it. This was her choice and I am really proud of her for wanting that. Echo Hill was an amazing experience for her and I feel like she grew up in those two weeks and in ways that every parent hopes: increased self confidence, independence, healthy respect and love of nature and the outdoors, forming positive friendships, meeting new people, being active and eating wholesome foods, and interacting with interesting and fun-loving adults as role models. She will be back next summer!”
“The bonds that are created at Echo Hill, whether between campers or camper to counselor, are phenomenal. They build a child's self-confidence and assurance, which carries through when they return home.”
“EPICALLY AWESOME!! Now I get to listen to Echo Hill stories instead of just telling my girls Echo Hill stories.”
“Echo Hill has saved our family, in more ways than one! And over five decades! Thank you!”
“She thinks this is the greatest place in the world. I know it's special from having gone there way back as well. Kudos.”
“She refers to Echo Hill as her "happy place." Hard to compete with that but, as parents, we love to see her growth in confidence and independence. Her goal is to one day be a counselor at Echo Hill. We respect that she wants to give back to the Echo Hill experience that has given her so much. Thank you.”
“Just wanted to say Michael LOVES EHC, He's told me that "Echo Hill is where I feel the most me." What more can be said? Thank you!!!”
"He had an AWESOME time and would have stayed the whole summer ... I see how mature he gets each year after camp. He loves camp and I don't know what he would be without EHC .... Thank You to everyone for the GREAT experience and helping him become a respectful young man.”
“Echo Hill helped make my daughter more responsible and independent. By surrounding her with girls from various backgrounds she learned how to make good independent decisions.”
