Christian camping began at Echo Lake back in 1967 as a means for young boys and girls to experience adventure and discovery, and to explore and learn about the amazing love of God through Jesus Christ in a unique camping environment. ELBC now owns 44 acres, and welcomes between 400 – 450 campers each summer, and 600 students throughout our shoulder season in June and September. Over 70 volunteers serve each summer as part of the body of Christ.
