Echo Lake Camp was founded in 1956 as a youth-oriented facility. For over 50 years, Echo has been continuing to follow its mission statement of "Winning youth to Christ and equipping them to glorify God."
Echo Lake Camp is affiliated with the Free Methodist Church of Canada, and is a charitable organization that is maintained solely through the work of its many unpaid volunteer staff members.
Echo Lake Camp hosts seasonal camps for youth throughout the year. We have camp on (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend, Family Day weekend (the long weekend in February), and Victoria Day weekend, and then a week-long camp the last full week of August.

Camp is open for ages 14 to 21 at the beginning of camp. This age range is inclusive, however if you (or your camper) turn 22 during camp, you will be considered "Aged out" before camp begins.
Have a camper who is younger than 14? Check out www.harbourridgecamp.com
At this time, the website does not allow for multiple registrations for more than one camper. You will need to create different accounts for your campers and register them individually. We hope to have this feature enabled in the near future to make your lives easier (including 1 payment for multiple campers!)
We don't. We leverage PayPal's payment platform to process payments.
Registration is 7-9 PM on the Friday of weekend camps, and 2-5 PM on the first Sunday of summer camp. Pick up time is 1-2 PM on the last day of camp.
Check your email! You should have received an email from registrar@echolakecamp.ca. You can also log in to the website and try to register again. You will get an alert saying if you have already registered.
