Welcome to The Echo Hill Campership Fund
Children from all backgrounds find that spending a few weeks at Echo Hill provides them with a caring community of peers and adult counselors who can encourage and challenge them, while also fostering friendships that last a lifetime. Echo Hill’s unique mix of free-choice daily activities, spontaneous fun that is so often missing from daily life during the school year, and cherished camp traditions, builds a sense of community and belonging that is felt by new and returning campers alike.
It is easy to see the significant impact Camp has on young people. As we watch our Campership kids year after year, we know that the camp experience is even more important for the children we serve; many of whom have never experienced the Chesapeake Bay and are confronted with economic challenges that would otherwise keep them from attending sleep away camp. Parents, grandparents, guardians, and others continue to provide us with compelling evidence that EHCF is changing the lives of their loved ones. We consistently hear reports that time spent at Echo Hill has yielded an increase in personal motivation, engagement with their families and communities, and has restored a sense of autonomy and possibility that difficult living situations can often sap from any individual. And best of all, our Campership kids have a lot of fun while living in nature where they are free from outside distractions, electronics, and the pressures of home life.
