Who will be supervising my camper?
Safety is our number one priority at Girl Scout camp. Camp Echo is an American Camp Association accredited program meaning it meets the highest standards of camp health and safety.
Our talented team of staff and volunteers are interviewed, background checked through our HR department, and attend training for their specific roles, responsibilities, and program areas. Many of our staff were previously Girl Scouts and campers themselves who bring years of experience to the program.
Campers are divided into activity groups based on their Girl Scout age level and are guided by their camp counselors. They will participate in activities with the girls in their group as well as in larger, all-camp activities.
Our facility is within minutes of St. Luke’s medical center and our camp staff hold current First Aid & CPR certifications.
