Eco Adventure Camp has been combined with Echo Wings and is a 5-day/4-night residential camp for students in grades 6-8 who want to participate in exciting outdoor challenges while learning about and exploring natural ecosystems. Campers will participate in a two-night offsite tent camping trip which features considerable hiking, canoeing, and field-based learning activities. While exploring the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem, campers will learn about challenges and solutions facing the watershed through its plants, animals and people. Campers will gain self-confidence and learn cooperation and teamwork through developing skills in canoeing, tent camping, meal preparation, and much more. Our trained pool staff will direct water safety instruction and canoeing skills. Other activities include fishing, crabbing, archery and camp crafts.

Who Can Participate

The camp is open to any student entering grades 6 through 8 who have an interest in field-based learning, adventure, and personal growth. Because of a limited number of openings, applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
