Upcoming Respite Opportunities

Respite Camp: All our respite weekends have a 1:2 to a 1:4 staff to camper ratio. We welcome campers who have developmental disabilities, autism, and/or physical disabilities who are ages 7 and up. Siblings are also welcome to attend at a reduced fee.

Respite weekends offer a break for families and caregivers of those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Weekends are filled with activities and games (and the occasional field trip during colder months) designed to build self-esteem and promote individual growth. Private pay: $550 (including $50 non-refundable deposit) Waiver: $100 room and board fee not covered by waiver (includes $50 non-refundable deposit)

A Place for Support

During the spring, winter and fall, when Camp Echoing Hills isn’t welcoming campers every week, we arrange for monthly respite weekends. One of the best parts about coming to Camp is the break that everyone, both campers and caregivers, get from their every day lives. Respite weekends provide a shorter version of camp. With the same caring staff and safe accessible campus, our respite weekends are a fun break for everyone involved.

Respite weekends offer a break for families and caregivers of those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Weekends are filled with activities and games designed to build self-esteem and promote individual growth. Campers leave with a new sense of confidence, great memories and new friends, while reuniting with families who are rejuvenated and well-rested.
