CAMPER AND PARENT INFORMATION
Camp 4 Echoes is an outdoor skills and waterfront camp focusing on teaching girls valuable life-long skills and positive self-image and confidence. We strive to provide the campers with an energetic and fun learning environment where they will create friendships that will last a lifetime. Having a new Camp Director on board is an exciting time for Camp 4 Echoes.
This transition creates the perfect timing for our vision and focus on quality programming to blossom. Camp 4 Echoes follows the guidelines and standards of Girl Scout Safety-Wise to ensure that your camper is always enjoying camp to these standards. Safety- Wise establishes a thorough program experience that will protect and maintain the well-being of every Girl Scout by providing Program Standards and Safety Guidelines for common Girl Scout activities, including camp programming and operations.
Parents and campers can be assured that our camp follows the highest standards in the areas of program, personnel, site, safety and administration. Contact your Troop Leader if you are interested in the specifics of
Safety-Wise and its standards.
**Note**: Camp staff does not sleep in the same cabins as the campers. We are aiding the girls in becoming self-sufficient and confident in themselves and their surroundings. Rest assured though, each unit has multiple staff sleeping on site. Your campers are never far from the eyes and ears of staff. Camp staff represent the values of Girl Scouting and are selected based on their ability to work with girls and skills needed to carry out special activities. All staff, female and male, are carefully screened prior to hiring. If you have any questions regarding summer camp, safety or staff, please don’t hesitate to call Tricia at (800) 827-9478 ext. 227.

THE FAQ’S

• Does my daughter need to be a Girl Scout toregister for camp?
  • No. Our camp is open to ALL girls. But, Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho requires a $10 membership fee if she is not currently a Girl Scout. You may opt to pay a $25 non-member fee if you do not wish to register your
    daughter as a Girl Scout.
• What does a normal routine at camp look like?
  • There is no such thing as a typical day at camp! Each day is filled with its own
    activities and fun for the campers based around the theme of each session and
    the girls’ selections!
• I would like my child to maintain a healthy diet at camp. Is that possible?
  • Of course! We offer many healthy options for your camper while they are at camp. A salad bar and a build your own sandwich station will be included at lunch and a salad and cold pasta bar will be included at dinner. Special dietary needs can be accommodated and vegetarian alternatives are offered at every meal. If your child has any strict dietary needs or restrictions, please be sure to clearly note them on the form you will find in the parent pack. Note: Although the children might inevitably become picky eaters while at camp, our staff will try to ensure all campers are maintaining a well rounded diet.
• My daughter wants to bring a friend to camp. Will they be together during their camp session?
  • Yes. We would love your daughter to share a wonderful camp experience with
    a friend! However, if your daughter would like to come to camp with all her
    friends, we can not guarantee they will be sleeping in the same unit or participating
    in all the same activities. The staff tries to foster new friendships with other
    campers for all the girls.
• What if my daughter gets homesick while away at camp?
  • While becoming homesick during their time at camp may happen to some
    campers, our staff is highly trained in assisting your daughter through this. We
    will try and make certain that your daughter is having such a wonderful and
    active time at camp so that homesickness does not occur. Please keep in mind if
    this is your daughter’s first time away from home, scheduling your daughter for a
    shorter camp visit may help prevent homesickness. Another tip: sending your
    daughter’s favorite stuffed animal or blanket with them to camp may also help!
• What if my daughter gets sick while at Camp 4 Echoes?
  • Safety is fundamental to Girl Scouting. Every precaution is taken to ensure the
    health and safety of our campers. A nurse lives on-site at camp and oversees
    the routine administration of medications and health care for all campers. A
    First Aider is in every unit and a doctor is on-call if illness or injury requires
    additional medical attention. You will be called if your daughter is unable to
    receive the medical attention that she needs at our camp. You would also be
    immediately notified in the case of an emergency.
• How can I contact my daughter while at camp?
  • We encourage you to write your daughter while she’s away at camp! In your parent pack, you will receive the mailing information to contact your daughter. Please remember it might be necessary to postmark your letter prior to camp to make sure that it reaches your daughter in a timely manner. In the case of an emergency, you will be able to reach our camp staff through the Director’s camp cell phone.
• What sort of training does the Camp 4 Echoes staff have?
  • Not only does our staff participate in extensive training prior to camp, they also receive additional staff training during in-service days throughout the camp season. Training includes health and safety of the campers, program
    training, emergency and evacuation planning, leadership and development,
    homesickness, and much more. Staff is carefully selected and then receives the
    training needed in order to provide the best camp experience for your daughter.
