This year we are offering 2 NEW options to get your luggage to camp. Luggage will no longer be dropped off at the bus depot on departure day (with the exception of the Bethesda depot). If you are using a luggage service, one of the following two options must be picked:
OPTION #1 - Camp Echo Luggage Service - is a cost-free regional service that will be similar to how you have dropped your luggage in the past, but now you will drop your bags the week before camp. This enables most of our campers to be unpacked when they arrive at camp. They will be able to bond immediately with their bunkmates and counselors without having to worry about unpacking their belongings.
Luggage for Full summer-and August campers will return with campers on Closing Day to each depot. Luggage for July campers will be ready for parent pick-up on Visiting Day.
Each camper is entitled to two pieces of luggage, at no additional charge, to be placed on our luggage trucks. Your campers TWO Camp Echo luggage tags, with your cabin assignment, will be sent in June. Each camper is also permitted to carry on one piece of hand luggage and athletic equipment on the bus. No other luggage will be permitted on the busses.
OPTION #2 – Camp Trucking – is a door to door service that will come to your home to pick up your child's bags to be delivered to camp and back to your home after the summer for a fee. Camp trucking can be used for round-trip or one-way service. It is limited to specific dates (see dates on form). Camp Trucking is an independent company that has no affiliation with Camp Echo; however, we do endorse their services. If you choose Camp Trucking, typically bags are picked up about 1 week prior to departure and are delivered back to your door at the end of the season 7-10 days after the camp season is over, depending on your location. For dates and prices, please see the "Camp Trucking" form in the Forms & Resources Section on our website.
