Camp Echo Lake

08/18/2026

Some places become more than a place. They become the people, the traditions, the late nights, the laughter, and the feeling of belonging somewhere completely. Camp Echo Lake, we’d go back in a heartbeat. 💛💚

Once Camp Echo Lake, always Camp Echo Lake. Take us back. 🫶🔥✨💗

Warm & Fuzzy doesn’t end when camp ends. You bring your best selves home with you from camp and even online or in group chats, Echo Lakers remember to Be Nice and Try Hard. 💛💚

For seven weeks, our campers live in a community where being liked means being liked in real life—where friends put their arms around each other, cheer each other on, work through hard moments together, and make one another feel like they belong.💗🫶🏻

When they head home, we hope they take that version of themselves with them—especially online.⭐️✨

Be Nice. Try Hard. Think before you send. Include people. Stand up for one another. And never forget there’s a real person on the other side of the screen.

The bunk line may end, but the way an Echo Laker treats people shouldn’t. 🥰🌲

Take it home with you. Keep it Warm & Fuzzy. Until next summer… 💛💚

Some things from camp are too special to pack away. 💚💛 Every bracelet holds a memory — a friendship that became family, a laugh that still makes you smile, a moment you wish you could relive, and a place that somehow became home.

So we keep wearing our camp wrists long after summer ends. Because even when we’re miles from Echo Lake, these little pieces of green and gold remind us that the people, the memories, and the magic of camp are always with us.

Camp may only last for the summer, but the love we carry from it lasts all year round. 🫶🌲💚💛

We reached for the stars this summer and Camp Echo Lake became a constellation on our hearts. Mohawk Jupiter and Iroquois Mars will remain in our hearts and on our Dining Hall walls forever. 💛💚🫶🏻✨⭐️

Camp isn’t quite over yet… but in just a couple of days, our campers will be heading HOME. 🏕️➡️🏡💚💛 And while we’re soaking up every last song 🎶, cheer 📣, laugh 😂, hug 🫂, friendship 💕, sunset 🌅, and moment together, we know the transition home can bring a whole lot of feelings.

After weeks of living together, trying new things, building friendships, gaining independence, facing challenges, getting VERY dirty 😜, and making memories that will last a lifetime ✨, our campers will come home with so much more than what fits in their duffle bags. 🧳💚 They may be excited 🤩, exhausted 😴, proud 💪, nervous 🥹, already missing camp 💔—or somehow feeling ALL of it at once.

As they settle back in, give them time. ⏰ Give them room to rest 💤, room to talk 💬, and room to miss camp. Listen more than you ask. 👂❤️ Let them reconnect with home friends and camp friends at their own pace. 📱👯 Keep the songs, stories, inside jokes, photos, traditions—and yes, that camp T-shirt they refuse to take off 😂👕—alive at home.

And most importantly, remind them how PROUD you are. 💚💛 They did something big. They spent weeks away from home, became part of a community, discovered new strengths, and grew into even more of who they are. 🌲✨

And parents… this one is for YOU, too. 🫶 You gave your child the gift of camp. 🎁🏕️ You gave them the opportunity to build confidence, resilience, independence, friendships, memories, and a home away from home. 💚 Be proud of them—and yourselves. 🥹👏

For now, though, we still have a couple more days together… so we’re going to make every single one count. 🥳🔥🌅🎶💦💚💛 🫶🏻

Then it’ll be WELCOME HOME, CAMPERS! 🏡🫂❤️

We already know we’re going to miss you like crazy. 🥹💗 Until Summer 2027… you can take the camper out of camp, but you can’t take the camp out of the camper. 🏕️💚💛✨

Camp Echo Lake’s Color Run to benefit Project Morry 🩵🧡💚💛 Project Morry was born out of summer camp pioneer Morry Stein’s dream that all children, regardless of economic status, should experience the life-changing gift of summer camp. Beginning as a summer camp experience, Project Morry has grown into a comprehensive year-round youth development organization, with Morry’s Camp still at the heart of our program. We swim to support Project Morry.
🩵🧡💚💛
Project Morry has been empowering youth from under-resourced communities to envision and establish a positive future, for 30 years! Millions of young people in America face gaps in opportunity that prevent them from reaching their potential in their education, career and contribution to their community. We’re changing the outcomes for young people in the tri-state area by improving opportunities and learning experiences through our proven and award-winning programs.
🩵🧡💚💛
