Our 57th Year of Summer Camping
Where Friends and Memories Are Made
September-October, 2008
Dear Echo Hill Parents, Ranchers and Website Visitors:
We are proud to announce enrollment for our 57th Year of summer camping. Though raising children has always been a challenge, childhood has become increasingly over-programmed and stressful for kids since 1953 when Echo Hill began. We believe the need for summer camp experience is now vital for a child’s overall development. As parents ourselves, we take pride in providing families a fun and relaxing setting in the Texas hill country where their kids can grow and have time to enjoy the golden moments of childhood.
- In 2009, we are offering the same popular mix of Four Week and Three Week Sessions for boys and girls ages 6-16, and our unique One Week Introductory Session for kids ages 6-10.
- We are excited to announce that in 2009 we are for the first time offering
special skill focused programs for high school students. Navigating city life
can be complex and risky for older teenagers, and we believe Echo Hill can
be a setting for constructive fun and developmentally appropriate summer time
activity for this age group. We have developed three NEW, challenging camps for high school students to improve their skills, confidence and have fun during a one-week period before our regular camp season begins: The Horsemanship Summer Camp, The Visual Arts Institute and the Hill Country Backpacking Adventure. Three of our most talented and popular professional staff will be directing these programs. Echo Hill’s Co-Wrangler Shelley
O’Neal will lead the Horsemanship Summer Camp, former Head Women’s Counselor and Art Director, Amanda
Friedman will direct The Visual Arts Institute, and Backpacking and Ecology Coordinator, Elliott
Stixrud will head up the Hill Country Backpacking Adventure. Please
click on the Advanced Skills Camps for High School Students in our Table of
Contents to see descriptions of these programs and the biographies of each program’s director. We hope you find these new programs an exciting addition to your summer.
- We are renewing our Super Early Bird Discount of 10% to encourage families to register early for next summer. All you need to do to receive this 10% discount is register with a deposit before October 1st and pay your tuition in full by December 31, 2008. The
Regular Early Bird Discount of 5% will be available for all campers that register from October 2nd to December 31st, 2008, and pay tuition in full by March 1, 2009. As always, when more than one child from a family attends Echo Hill, each additional child after the first receives our $150.00 Family
Discount.
We are excited about 2009 and look forward to hearing from you about next summer.
Greentrees,
