I arrived at Camp Echo Lake for the first time in 1981 as a camper. My experience as a camper was truly spectacular and led me to choose camp for my own children 34 years later.

Has camp changed?!? Certainly not their dedication to human developent. Certainly not their commitment to the whole child. Certainly not their focus on excellent instruction.

What has changed at camp is the physics plant. Arriving for our "tour" of camp, I was struck by the beauty that camp has become...first rare cabins, gorgeous views, and as always pine trees (tall). I returned home and new it was the place for my own children.

Having spent a few years working in the camp consulting business, I had the opportunity to work and meet with many camping professionals and directors. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Tony Stein and Laurie Rinke are at the very top of their game. They are the best of the best and I recommend their camp without reservation.
