2024 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 Donna Shallenberger donna.shallenberger@ehvi.org

Success Story: Michael

…During a time of my life when I thought I myself had nothing much left to give I found myself in a weird and most grace-filled property where weak and unattractive people were strong and beautiful, a real community of fully capable men, women, and children- camper, staff, volunteers alike each giving and receiving as much as one was able…
