Camp Echo

Discover the Echo Spirit

Click here for 2012 Camp Echo registration information.

Camp Echo is our coed, residential camp in Fremont, Michigan. The 492-acre camp is on Ryerson Long Lake and adjoins the Manistee National Forest. The McGaw YMCA has offered summer camping for more than a century; we’ve been on our present site for more than 80 years.

Once you pass through the gates of Camp Echo, you will find yourself in a beautiful natural setting where you can experience the wonders of nature. At Camp Echo you can enjoy swimming, sailing, horseback riding, kayaking, archery, water skiing and much more. There’s an activity for every interest, but the real essence of Camp Echo is our ability to encourage personal growth while fostering cooperation, creating an environment where you will feel included, respected and want to keep coming back, year after year.

You may be living in a cabin in Main Camp, or you could spend extra time with the horses at Ranch Camp, learn counseling skills as a Counselor in Training, explore the Rocky Mountains on a backpacking adventure, or swim with your entire family at one of our Family Camps … no matter what brings you to Camp Echo you’ll discover the Echo Spirit, share it with others, and take it home with you.

Visit the Camp Echo website to learn about all the camp offerings and experiences, and download the guide and registration forms.
