CAMP ECHO FAMILY CAMP GUIDE
Whether this is your 1st or your 31st Family Camp, please read this guide well in advance of camp to help prepare for summer! The goal of this document is to help prepare your family for an unforgettable camp experience that strengthens your family and builds connection in our community. Please let us know if there are any questions we can answer or other support we can provide in advance of camp!
Each summer, we implement the best new practices from the camping industry while continuing to incorporate long-standing practices that still align with our mission and vision. As we make decisions about programming, we always reflect on our goals for camp:
SAFETY (Know the Expectations, Feel Secure, Ask For Help)
The foundation of any positive camp experience starts with feeling safe in the camp environment. We strive to communicate community expectations in advance and upon arrival to help families feel secure while also knowing who they can ask for help from registration through to the moment they leave at the end of their time at camp.
COMMUNITY (Inclusion, Make New Friends, Give Back)
Camp Echo is different from many other family experiences because of the community. Together, we have the power to support each other in getting the most out of the experience. We ask families to join us in our work to ensure all families are included and support each other in making new friends. There are opportunities to give back to the camp experience often, from helping clean up after meals to sharing talents or donating to increase access to camp.
PERSONAL GROWTH (Develop Strong Character, Strengthen Self-Confidence, Build Leadership Skills)
Character is built through emphasis on Camp Echo’s core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility (which add up to FUN!). Families are invited to share their interests and talents at camp, while trying new things – it is never too late to be challenged at camp!
AND HAVE FUN!
Fun is the product of achieving so many other things at camp. Fun is also telling silly jokes, getting a bit wacky, and laughing together at campfires. Fun is all around us at camp and fun is more fun together.

GETTING TO CAMP
ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE
Families are responsible for transportation to Camp Echo in Fremont, MI. It takes approximately 4.5 hours to get to Camp Echo from Evanston with no traffic and a brief rest stop. Heavy (rush hour or holiday) traffic or frequent stops can make for a longer drive. REMINDER: Camp Echo is in the Eastern Time Zone!
Please plan to arrive after 3 PM ET on the first day of your program. (Leaving Evanston at 9:30 AM CT on a light traffic day should get you to camp right around 3 PM ET.) We encourage families to arrive as early as possible to get settled and start enjoying activities, including swim evaluations if they would like. If you arrive before 6 PM ET, you will have time to get settled before dinner at 6:30 PM ET. We will hold dinner for anyone who arrives by 7:30 PM.
Camp Echo staff will greet you at our camp entrance and give you directions about where to park and how to unload. It is another half mile down the camp road to reach the heart of camp –please drive slowly and honor the 15 MPH speed limit. We encourage you to roll your windows down and enjoy the fresh air! Families are not able to drive to their cabins. Upon parking, Camp Echo staff will be available to help you move to your cabin. Your camp gear will be moved to your cabin in a camp truck or trailer and staff will walk with you to your cabin if you are unfamiliar with its location.
After 7:30 PM ET on the first night, our welcome team will shift to the parking and office area. Please proceed directly down the camp road until you reach the camp offices or a staff member who directs you where to park.
The program will end after breakfast on the final day and Camp Echo staff will be available to help you move your belongings back to your car. Please plan to depart by 11 AM ET so that our team has adequate time to clean the facility before their time off begins!
LEAVING CAMP
Camp Echo is closest to the small town of Fremont, Michigan and is also about 45 minutes away from Muskegon and about an hour from Grand Rapids.
We strongly recommend packing everything you may need for your time at camp, and stopping in town before arriving at camp if you anticipate needing additional items. There is a Meijer and a WalMart in Fremont if you need any supplies. There is also a hospital and urgent care facility in Fremont.
If you need to leave the property for any reason during your stay at Camp Echo, please inform a full-time staff member first. We might have what you need and be able to save you a trip to town!
Should you go into town, please be respectful of our neighbors and Fremont community!
DRIVING SAFETY NOTE:
MANY deer live on Camp Echo property and in the surrounding area. Please drive cautiously, especially at night, and be on the lookout for deer. It is quite common to see deer on the side of the road and driving at high speeds greatly increases the likelihood of striking a deer.
FAMILY CAMP SAFETY & SUPERVISION
CAMP ECHO STAFF
Camp Echo staff are always identifiable by their staff shirt and/or lanyard with name tag. Each family will be assigned a staff member as a counselor for their time at camp. The counselor will check in with your family at meals to answer any questions, suggest activities, or simply to hear about your day. Camp Directors can often be found, or reached via radio, from the Yurt Offices between the Dining Hall and KYBO North.
In an emergency, Directors can be reached by phone at 231-924-7076 (this is the camp phone number, which is forwarded to Director cell phones outside of normal business hours).
CAMPER WRISTBANDS
Upon arrival, every camper receives a wristband. Campers are required to wear this wristband for the duration of the camp program to quickly identify anyone on camp property that should not be there. Should you ever have concerns about someone on Camp Echo property, please let a staff member know immediately.
RULE OF 3
The Rule of 3 is a child safety best practice in youth settings and helps eliminate potentially dangerous situations between two youth or an adult and youth. During Family Camp, there are a lot of non-staff adults at camp and instances when youth campers may be navigating camp without a staff member. It is important to Camp Echo that ALL adults at Camp Echo be aware and model the Rule of 3 for our youth, who are also expected to follow the Rule of 3.
Rule of 3: Staff should never be alone with a camper. Campers (adult or youth) should never be alone with another camper outside of their family.
“Alone” in Public: Campers and staff may be “alone” in a publicly visible location, such as walking across the Peninsula field in the middle of the day or sitting at a picnic table outside Dining Hall during a meal.
Bathrooms (KYBOs): In most youth settings, including camps, bathrooms are considered high-risk areas for child safety and require greater adult attention. We highly encourage youth to go to KYBOs in groups of three or with a parent/guardian, particularly when using the KYBOs to change clothes or shower.
Adherence to the Rule of 3 helps keep all campers safe. Youth campers that attend youth camp sessions at Camp Echo will be familiar with these expectations and consistently following the Rule of 3 at Family Camp will increase safety at all Camp Echo programs.
SUPERVISING YOUR CHILDREN AT CAMP ECHO
Campers must be at least 8 years old, or entering 3rd grade, to participate in activities without being accompanied by a designated adult (18 years or older) or move freely from one activity to another. Though parents can ask other parents to watch their children, please be mindful of their capacity to adequately support several children. This expectation is in place to ensure the safety of all the children at camp and ensure that there is adequate adult support to help little children participate in activities.
There are also designated times when parents can leave their potty-trained children under 8 years old with Camp Echo staff for the always popular LITTLES activities. Parents will be asked to leave info about how to find parents if necessary as part of check-in process.
Camp Echo asks families to refrain from any loud activities after 10 PM, Camp Echo’s quiet hour. In line with our expectations during Youth Camp, we expect pre-teen campers to be in their cabin or with adults by 10 PM and teenage campers (under 18 years old) must be in their cabins or with adults by 11 PM.
HEALTH CARE
There is no designated health care provider during Family Camp. Parents are responsible for their family members’ health. Camp Echo has general first aid supplies available for minor injuries at camp. If a camper has a serious injury or illness, we recommend visiting local Urgent Care or Emergency Room (both are 15 minute drive).

MEDICATIONS
Address: 212 S Sullivan, Fremont, MI 49412
Parents are responsible for their family members’ over-the-counter, prescribed, and emergency medications while at camp. Please pack enough medications for your time at camp and, especially in spring, consider potential allergies that could arise while at camp.
Should your family forget any medications, there are several pharmacies in Fremont that may be able to fill a prescription: Baars, Meijer, Walgreens, Walmart. (Check map for latest info).
IF BRINGING ADDITIONAL YOUTH TO FAMILY CAMP:
If bringing “Additional Youth” to camp, such as family friends, the adult responsible for the “Additional Youth” while at camp is required to obtain the following information in writing from the Additional Youth’s parents: medication needs (including dosage/frequency), pertinent medical restrictions, and a written statement authorizing medical treatment while the camper is at camp. This written statement may be required if the child needs advanced care while at Family Camp.
DAILY SCHEDULE
The family camp daily schedule is broken up into activity blocks, during which families can select from several different offerings without any advanced sign-up. Some specialty activities, such as pontoon boat rides or high ropes, may require advanced sign-up and will be announced at camp.

WATER ACTIVITIES, SWIM EVALUATION, & AQUATIC SAFETY
Camp Echo has many aquatic activities. In accordance with licensing and accreditation standards, campers must display varying levels of swimming proficiency to safely participate in aquatic activities. Participants are required to do the swim evaluation each summer.
Campers who attend multiple sessions of camp in the same summer can carryover their swim level from one session to the next (for instance, Memorial Day Family Camp to any Youth Camp session, or Youth Camp to fall Family Camp sessions). The swim evaluation is often one of the first things campers do upon arrival and is a great way to, quite literally, dive into camp.
Camp Echo’s swim levels are red, white, and blue. They are determined as follows:
Red: Default swim level for campers and for those who do not complete white or blue standards
White: Swim 4 lengths of a recognizable stroke; jump into deep water; tread water for 1 minute; and then float or tread for 9 minutes.
Blue: Same as white level, except swimming 6 lengths instead of 4.
WATER ACTIVITY OPTIONS & SWIM LEVELS
Campers can participate in aquatic activities as follows, based on swim levels:
Canoeing: All campers may participate in canoeing, regardless of swim color. Youth campers who are red swimmers must be joined by an adult in the canoe. This also applies to Camp Echo’s Big Canoes, also known as War Canoes, which can hold approximately 8-12 people and are a favorite Family Camp activity (look for scheduling sign-ups at camp).
Paddleboarding, Kayaking, and Corcling: Campers must be white or blue swimmers to do these activities.
Sailing: Campers must be white or blue swimmers to sail. Adults who are white or blue swimmers may take a youth camper who is a red swimmer out in a sailboat with them.
Swimming: Our swimming area is divided into three swimming areas: red is the shallowest (03 feet deep), white is the intermediate (4-6 feet deep), and blue is the deepest, (6-12+ feet deep). Red swimmers may use the red area without a personal floatation device (PFD) or the white and blue areas with a PFD. White and blue swimmers may swim in any of the swim areas without a PFD (though it can also be fun to wear one!).
Tubing: Campers must be white or blue swimmers to tube. Adults who are white or blue swimmers may tube with a youth camper who is a red swimmer.
Watersking and Wakeboarding: Campers must be white or blue swimmers to do these activities.
ACROSS THE LAKE SWIM (AND BACK!)
If there is camper interest, there will be an opportunity to swim across Ryerson Long Lake, and back, from our swimming area. Campers must be blue swimmers to participate in this activity. Swimmers do not need to wear PFDs for this, but must swim with a group that is accompanied by staff lifeguards and support boats.
PERSONAL FLOATION DEVICES (PFDs, aka Lifejackets)
All campers and staff must wear appropriately fitting U.S. CoastGuard approved PFDs when participating in any of our watersports outside of our swimming area: canoeing, corcling, kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, tubing, wakeboarding, and waterskiing. Additionally, PFDs must be worn when aboard any ski boats or pontoon boats.
Camp Echo has a limited supply of PFDs for pre-school participants. If you have a preschooler that would like to play in the water beyond the red area, you are encouraged to bring a PFD for them if you have one.
CHECKING IN & OUT OF AQUATIC AREAS
To ensure that all campers are safe and accounted for, campers are required to check-in and check-out of aquatic areas. Checking in and out means waiting for a staff member to verbally tell you that you are checked in or out.
At the Swimming Area, every camper has a magnetic swim tag (also known as a buddy tag) that is the same color as their swim level. They move the tag, as a staff member observes, from one side of the buddy board when they check in and then back to the other side when they check out. This practice allows staff to quickly check that all swimmers in the area are accounted for. At other aquatic areas, staff will keep a list of campers checked into the area at any given time.
LAND ACTIVITIES
Camp Echo offers a wide range of activities, both those within our specialty program areas and many other creative offerings that our staff come up with during the summer.
Specialty Activities
- Arts & Crafts

AGE GUIDELINES FOR SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES
There are some age and size guidelines for certain activities based on accreditation standards and equipment limitations:
Archery: you must be at least 8 years old, or entering 3rd grade, to participate.
Biking & Waterskiing: We have child size equipment, but they are fit based on height and might not be suitable for younger children (under 8 for waterskiing and under 10 for biking)
High Ropes & Climbing Wall: Must be 12 years old to participate in high ropes or climbing wall activities. (Note: there is a traversing/bouldering wall available for campers of all ages)
FACILITIES & PREPARING FOR CAMP
HOUSING
Camp Echo houses all family campers in cabins and all of these buildings have electricity. However, the electrical capacity is limited and utilizing too many devices simultaneously could cause a circuit breaker to flip. This is particularly true with coffee makers and tea kettles. Please unplug any other electrical devices before using these items in your cabin.
Each cabin is defined by the number of beds it has. All beds are bunked: a 12-bed cabin has six top bunks and six lower bunks, and similar for 4 or 8 bed cabins. Each bed has two shelves and a hanging rod. There is a front deck on all cabins and 12-bed cabins also have a rear porch. Cabins have attic fans, box fans, and electric heaters to help manage temperature but do NOT have air conditioning.
BATHHOUSES (we call them KYBOs at Camp Echo)
None of the cabins occupied by campers have internal bathrooms. Instead, there are several KYBOs around camp, a short walk from any cabin. The KYBOs are open for general use by all families, with both single gender and all gender options.
PACKING FOR CAMP
There is a packing list at the end of this document but, more importantly, bring whatever will make your family comfortable! Weather is often quite varied at Family Camp, with cool evening and mornings giving way to hot afternoons, so plan to bring several layers and change clothes once or twice over the course of a single day. Rain is quite common and morning dew usually keeps the grass wet in the morning, so rain boots and other rain gear is often helpful.
SLEEPING BAGS, BEDDING, and PILLOWS
Each bed at Echo has a 74” long, 5” thick, 30-36” wide foam mattress. Camp Echo does NOT provide any additional bedding or pillows. Most campers find it most comfortable to bring fitted sheets to put over each mattress, followed by a sleeping bag or top sheet and blanket. In camper cabins, there is space in the center of the cabin or on the rear porch for an inflatable air mattress, which some families bring to Family Camp to use instead of a mattress. Camp Echo does NOT have cribs or pack-and-plays available for pre-schoolers.
FOOTWEAR
Good footwear is important at camp as we are up and on our feet all day long! Most people like one pair of good closed-toed shoes, like gym/ running/ tennis shoes. There are several activities at camp that require these shoes (like horseback riding and high ropes). In addition, most campers like to have a pair of water shoes such as Chacos, Keens, Crocs or other sandals. Many also like to have flip-flops for showering. There are many other activities at camp that don’t require special footwear, but you want to make sure that you will be comfortable and supported in whatever you are doing. Campers are expected to always wear shoes except in the aquatic areas.
LAUNDRY
Laundry service is not available at camp for campers. If there is an urgent need, please ask a full-time staff member and they will advise you on how to best proceed.
FOOD SERVICE
MEALS
Meals are served family style at Camp Echo with a choice bar available to complement the main offerings at each meal. At breakfast, the choice bar features a variety of fresh fruit and cereals. At lunch and dinner, the choice bar features a salad bar and various alternative options.
Each family is assigned to a specific table for the session. Assigned tables are either in the Dining Hall or located on the covered Dining Hall deck. Families can indicate their preference for dining location when completing the Family Camp forms in CampInTouch prior to arrival. Depending on the number of people in a family, they may be assigned to share a table with another family.
Though tables are assigned, families may choose to invite others to join them at their table if they have space. Additionally, there are usually extra open tables inside and outside if a family would like to change their dining location.
DIETARY NEEDS
Camp Echo provides gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian alternatives. We ask families to share any dietary restrictions in their Family Camp forms prior to camp to help us plan our menu and inventory accordingly. We will communicate common allergens in all meal offerings and kitchen staff is always available to answer questions.
BEVERAGES
Several beverages are available in the Dining Hall throughout the day: coffee, hot water and various tea flavors, milk (2%, skim, and soy), apple juice, and hot coca. Due to the very hot water in hot cocoa machine, parents are expected to help young children (under 12 years old).
SNACKS
Families are welcome to bring snacks to keep in their cabins. Additionally, there are always snacks available in the Dining Hall. Sample snack offerings include: apples, oranges, bananas, fruit bars, granola bars, goldfish, fritos, and string cheese.
REFRIGERATION & ICE
Cabins do NOT have refrigerators. For food safety reasons, we do not allow families to store personal food items in our Dining Hall refrigerators. However, we can provide families with ice from our Dining Hall to use in personal coolers during their time at camp.
KITCHEN ACCESS – STAFF ONLY
The Camp Echo kitchen is often bustling with energy while preparing meals for families and staff. If you ever need something from the kitchen, please ask a staff member and do NOT enter the kitchen yourself. Please get the attention of a staff member and they will be happy to help you –or they will let you know if they need your help by inviting you into the kitchen.
MISCELLANEOUS
TRADING POST
The camp store, known as the Trading Post or TP will be open for clothing, treats and/or various supplies. Trading Post accounts are managed via CampInTouch – the same system as families use to complete registration, forms, and payment for camp. Each family, as registered, has a Trading Post account. Families will be charged for their purchases once they depart camp and do NOT need to fund their accounts in advance.
Youth at Family Camp may purchase one edible snack each night at the Trading Post without an adult present (if old enough to navigate camp without a parent!). All other purchases require an adult present for approval.
Additionally, clothing and souvenirs are available for purchase online before or after camp via Camp Echo’s online Trading Post store: Camp Echo Trading Post.
WAGONS
Camp Echo has a fleet of wagons for families to use at Family Camp. These wagons are perfect for taking beach chairs down to the swimming area or some personal belongings from your car to your cabin. Families are welcome to keep one by their cabin for use throughout their time at camp.
PERSONAL BIKES
Bikes are a fun item to bring to Camp Echo, especially for little campers who don’t fit Camp Echo bikes.
When riding your own bike at Camp Echo, we expect campers to still follow our safety procedures for biking: wear closed-toe shoes, wear a well-fitting helmet, ride on defined trails or roads, and do not ride your bike on the peninsula to avoid damaging the grass or falling on the sandy and uneven ground.
ELECTRONICS
All Camp Echo cabins have electricity and a small number of outlets. Small extension cords or power strips are recommended if you will be charging several devices. Electricity in cabins is NOT high capacity and running multiple high-demand items at the same time can cause a breaker to flip. IF USING AN ELECTRIC TEA KETTLE: Unplug/turn-off all other electrical devices before starting the kettle – these often cause a cabin to lose power temporarily.
WIFI
Camp Echo WiFi is available in various common areas, such as around the Dining Hall, but not guaranteed in all cabins. If you have a specific internet need, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate. The best place to get strong cell signals is typically on the camp peninsula.
LOST & FOUND – LABEL EVERYTHING!
We want families to depart camp with everything they brought, minus some stress and plus some amazing memories!
Lost and found at Camp Echo is brought to the Dining Hall for campers to peruse on their own if they are missing something. However, items of significant importance of value (such as cell phones or car keys) are kept in the camp office when turned in by other campers.
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
FORMS
There are several forms families will need to complete prior to their session so we can best prepare for your arrival. In addition to waivers, families will complete a “Family Fun Form” where they will share their activity preferences as well as any dietary restrictions or medical information that will impact their experience. Children coming with adults who are not their parents/guardians need a separate waiver filled out by their parent/guardian.
ALCOHOL
Family Camp campers of legal drinking age may consume alcohol in their cabins with discretion, not disturbing any of their neighboring cabins. Alcohol is not permitted anywhere else on the camp property. We remind all campers who choose to bring alcohol to camp that they are responsible for the legal and safe consumption of anything they bring on camp property.
Campers who have been consuming alcohol are not permitted to participate in any specialized camp activities (aquatics, biking, fishing, high ropes, horseback riding) or other activities that camp staff deem unsafe at the time.
While we allow families to have alcohol at camp, we encourage them to consider abstaining for their time at camp so that they are not confined to their cabin and can more fully participate in all programs, both during the day and throughout the evening.
Staff and volunteers are not allowed to drink alcohol while at camp.
PROHIBITED: SMOKING & DRUGS
Camp Echo is a smoke-free, tobacco-free, nicotine-free, and drug-free facility, including cigarettes, cigars, and vaping. Any participants that use banned substances at camp will be asked to dispose of the substances immediately and may be asked to leave camp.
SECURITY
Camp Echo does not provide families with keys to their cabins while at camp and encourages families to NOT bring valuables to camp. Though rare, we have had incidents of theft and/or vehicle damage scattered over the years. Please keep the following other items in mind as you experience camp:
- Please keep your cars locked throughout your time at camp.
- As we do not lock our cabins at camp, we recommend any valuables that must be brought be stored out of sight in locked vehicle.
- Please report any concerns or suspicious behavior to camp staff immediately.
FAMILY CAMP RULES REMINDERS
- Adults are responsible for knowing where their youth campers are at all times.
- Don’t enter any program area until a Camp Echo staff member is present and allows you to enter.
- Don’t go near the lake except at the designated aquatic areas.
- No bare feet, except on the sand in the aquatic areas.
- If you hear a simultaneous bell and siren, come to the Dining Hall.
