At Camp Echo we promote healthy competition – giving campers a chance to accept challenges that lead to teamwork and personal bests. There is a team for every camper who wants to be part of one. And unending activities for those who prefer to achieve in other arenas or on their own. Be it on the playing fields or in the craft cabins, we stress individual progress.
For campers seeking an athletic challenge, we participate in inter-camp games, tournaments, and ladders. Do we compete? Yes, but we don’t fixate on scores and standings.
Our concentration is on sportsmanship and cooperation to encourage perseverance, resilience, courage, and self-confidence. Whether it’s the swim team, the dance team, or the chess team, there are many options for exercising the values of healthy contests. At camp, as in life, you have to learn how to lose – and win – gracefully.
