2023 Camp Four Echoes

We're Celebrating 85 Years!

About Our Camp

Camp Four Echoes is our beautiful 212-acre Windy Bay property occupying two miles of shoreline on Lake Coeur d’Alene. For the past 85 years, thousands of girls have come here to learn new skills, make new friends, and create lifelong memories. Our summer camp programs include sailing, windsurfing, swimming, canoeing, arts & crafts, hiking, dramatics, archery, outdoor skills, STEM, leadership courses, and now an aerial adventure park with a zipline.

Six various camping units house 18-24 girls weekly. Each unit has flush toilets and running water, but no electricity. Meals are held in the 11,500 square foot lodge, which was built in 2011.
