I love this camp. I camped her 30 years ago when I was in scouts and now my kids are camping here. Its amazing to see all the changes that have been made to the camp, especially the water activities. The current ranger is doing a great job here. Cant wait till the summer when aquatics camp starts up again.

Not worth the money if you have smaller children. They let them play in the pool mostly. I had to request "swimming lessons." According my 8 y/o, making "unicorn poop" was the lesson in science class. Daily, they were sent home with watercolor paintings that were more appropriate for preschool. My kids were begging to go back to their daycare by Wednesday. This camp may keep the older kids entertained because they get to pick their own activities. However, this place is definitely not for little ones.

My kids have been coming to Camp Echockotee for Aquatics Camp for the past 12 summers. My older son enjoyed camp so much, that he volunteered as a counselor one summer as well! My younger son has been going since his early days as a Voyager (younger campers). Aquatics Camp is a day camp that offers a very wide range of activities to keep kids very active & involved. Being located at the Boy Scouts River Base - there's plenty of water-related fun: waterskiing, tubing, canoeing, paddle boarding, fishing & swimming (in their pool) to name a few. Kids can also get introduced to new activities like rock climbing, archery and bb shooting. For Scouts, there are merit badge opportunities as well. For the overnight camp experience - campers have the option to stay one night before camp is over. The facilities are clean & well organized, the staff is friendly & cordial. Dropping off is always tough, because I'd love to stay and have some fun too!

I know of no other day camp with such a wide variety of activities is offered. Learn to drive a motor boat, tube, water ski, sail, or learn a new skill. My son encountered a couple of bullies the first day (kids can be jerks) but the camp director and counselors addressed the situation quickly and ensured he felt comfortable. Hands down, this was the best camp experience he has ever had (and he's been to A LOT of camps).
