What families say about Camp Echo Lake

★★★ Could be better
For the price you pay, the camp should have more. The facilities are just ok. The fun is just ok. The trips are just ok. Other camps stay in hotels on trips and have better accommodations. Our kids sleep in tents. Tony is not involved in the day to day operations with the camp. The kids don’t see him. Laurie is around sometimes and she is very difficult to deal with. She takes things personally instead of seeing room for growth. She is not someone I feel always has my kid’s best interest and in fact I feel she can be spiteful. Kelly can be extremely rude as well. I’m not sure why she keeps being promoted. I’ve had two kids go to the camp and both have had an ok experience. I wish they loved it and wanted to go and stay for eternity but they are bored and over it. The camp is definitely not sporty so if your child likes sports, this is not for them.
