A Full Season Sleep-away Camp for Children!
Since 1946, the Stein family has been providing summer camp experiences that are built upon a passionate dedication to human development. Camp Echo Lake is a loving and supportive camp community that looks for – and cultivates – the best in every camper and staff member. We would love to have you join our camp family!
Camp Echo Lake is situated on 135 acres of pine forest with a 35-acre spring-fed lake and surrounded by the beautiful Adirondack Mountains in Warrensburg, New York.
About Camp Echo Lake
Echo Lake staff comes from a wide range of life experiences and demographics, but all have the desire to work with children at camp! Echo Lake typically hires around 250 staff to work with our 475, 7 to 16-year-old, male and female campers. Our staff comes to camp from across the United States and all around the world. Last year staff came from 34 different states in the USA and 13 different countries around the world, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and many more!
Our staff love being part of our camp family and can’t get enough of Echo Lake, in fact, each year about 40-50% of our staff are returning to camp from the previous summer. In addition to our staff veterans, every year we look forward to finding the many amazing new staff that comes to camp bringing fresh energy, perspective, and ideas!
While our staff must have at least completed a year of college (or be the equivalent age), our mature staff (with an average age of 22) are made up of college and graduate students, teachers, and other childcare and athletic professionals. All of our staff have an impact on the lives of children and have their own lives influences by the campers, staff, and the camp experience.
