2025 Camp Echoing Hills Camp Schedule

The price of camp has increased to help cover operating costs. We realize many families have extreme costs associated with caring for their loved ones, and we don’t want anyone to miss camp because of the cost. Scholarships are available; however, to ensure our camper financial aid can go as far as possible, we encourage you to partner with your local county to see what funds are available through them.  Additionally, waiver funds are accepted at Camp Echoing Hills. Once you have exhausted those options, please request scholarship dollars – made possible by our faithful donors! It is always our goal to give scholarships to everyone who needs them.  If you have any questions or concerns about scholarships, don’t hesitate to contact Jimmy McNutt jmcnutt@ehvi.org
