We had a great time with the kids. There were lots of fun activities for the kids, including swimming, archery, arts and crafts, and games. The staff was all very excited to be there, and were skilled at getting the kids involved in the activities. It was fun and relaxing for parents as well, with great spots to sit and read or soak in the scenery, or go hiking or fishing. The food was pretty good (it is what you would hope for from a summer camp buffet-- healthy and hearty, and tasty-enough). There are lots of fun and cheesey chants and songs in the mess hall, an experience I had forgotten about from scout camp when I was younger.

This was a camp that gives all a chance to sit quietly and relax or partake in all kinds of crafts. I also felt comfortable with my children roaming around the camp as the staff and other campers all looked out for all the children. There is a comfortable friendliness about camp and with the spectacular Sierra views you can’t help to relax. First time at Echo Lake Camp and we will be back next...

(Ps: we appreciate the excellent communication we've received and the ability to send camp grams to...
