Echo Lake Camp — Serving youth for nearly 70 years

Winning youth to Christ and equipping them to glorify God.

Founded in 1956 by three visionary couples with a passion for reaching young people with the gospel, our camp was built to be a place where youth could encounter Christ, grow in their faith, and experience the joy of Christian community. Today, Echo Lake Camp continues that legacy by hosting seasonal camps throughout the year: on Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, Family Day weekend in February, Victoria Day weekend, and a week-long camp during the last full week of August. Each gathering is designed to bring people together for faith, friendship, and unforgettable fun.

Echo Lake Camp is a ministry affiliated with the Free Methodist Church of Canada and is a charitable organization maintained solely through the dedication of its many unpaid volunteer staff.
