Dear Camp Echo Alums and Friends,

Welcome to Camp Echo’s alumni website for Echo in Fremont, Michigan. Camp Echo is owned and operated by the McGaw YMCA in Evanston, Illinois. We have been in the residential camping business since 1898 and located on Ryerson (Long) Lake near Fremont, Michigan since 1924. If any of this sounds familiar to you, then you are in the right place. We are so glad you found us and that we have found you. Whether you have passed beneath our main gate only once or been here a thousand times, we consider you to be part of our Camp Echo family. There are more than 18,000 entries on our alumni list. We have culled names from various lists going back as far as the 1920’s.

Search for other Alumni or Friends by clicking on of the links below:

Search by Index, Title or Year

Unfortunately, we did not have complete staff and camper lists for every year and we do not always have accurate snail mail or e-mail addresses. Even the years that you were at camp are estimated in most cases. Please take a moment to update your alumni profile. Be sure to include as much information as you can remember. If you are in touch with any other camp folks please add any information you have about them either on a separate alumni update form or in the comments column of your own form.

If you are ever in the Fremont area please give us a call and come by for a visit. Many things have changed and yet so much is exactly the way you remember it. We hope you enjoy catching up with your Echo buddies and rekindling your own Echo Spirit.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Katie Tucker Trippi
