Echo Hill Camp

About

Echo Hill Camp is a sleep-away summer camp for 150 boys and girls, ages 7-16. We are dedicated to helping children have a happy, exciting and meaningful experience while they build self-confidence and gain respect for themselves and others in a safe and nurturing environment. We strive to provide an atmosphere conducive to the creative expression of self where a child may seek to acquire new physical and artistic skills.

Campers choose as many as five activities throughout a typical day - three in the morning and two in the afternoon. Echo Hill Camp operates on the free-choice theory, so campers are not locked in to any one activity at any time.

After each meal, the staff share the upcoming activity choices in an announcement style setting, which can be quite entertaining! We help the campers decide what to do and encourage them to try new things. And…in case you were wondering… choosing “nothing” is not an option!​

Echo Hill takes great pride in its waterfront. A wide variety of aquatic activity is enjoyed where our sandy beach slopes gradually into the Chesapeake Bay. Waterfront activities include: Waterskiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, sailing, tubing, crabbing, fishing, kayaking, swimming, water basketball, boat rides, swamp mucks & beach hikes. The waterfront and all of its activities are run safely under the constant supervision of our Waterfront Directors, Water Safety Instructors, USCG licensed motor boat captains, USA Waterski Members and US Sailing Instructors.
