Oh, The Adventures We Take…
Echo campers participate in an amazing variety of activities scheduled throughout their session. Some are high adventure, some are designed to team build, and some are meant to require leadership, but all are crafted to bring out the best in our campers and instill the qualities of a great leader.
What happens when you take a camp of teenagers to the wilds of Central Texas, surround them with limitless adventure, the opportunity to do courageous things, and give them a chance to make a difference in the lives of others? What happens is truly amazing.
Located near Rocksprings, Texas at Camp Eagle, Echo provides teens ages 13-16 a chance to realize that life is limitless and the opportunity to impact it can be even more.

Echo Campers will be divided into two camps:

- Miakoda: Boys and Girls Ages 15-16
Each ‘Camp’ will participate in its adventures and activities during the day with its select camp staff. This will allow us to better facilitate a more defined and purposeful program by age. In the evening both camps will come together for new special events and parties. In addition, both camps will eat all their meals together. When registering for Echo, please select your Echo age group as well as gender. Please select the age your child will be during camp.
Meals
All meals are served ‘Family Style’, are delicious, and made from scratch, and our campers love them. We are happy to make accommodations for food allergies or dietary restrictions. Just let us know – we’ll make it happen!
Lodging
Our cabins at Safari are super comfortable with in-cabin restrooms and showers, air conditioning, and plenty of room. Let’s just say we’re roughing it in style.
Your Ride
Transportation to and from camp from Houston, Dallas, and Austin is included in your camp tuition. We travel on full-size luxury buses equipped with air conditioning, restrooms, and onboard entertainment. Part of the Kidventure experience is the bus ride up and back!
