ECHO offers science, stewardship, and engineering-design themed day camps
during summer break and school vacation.
Set against the backdrop of the bustling Waterfront in Burlington, Vermont, a day at ECHO camp can move from a behind-the-scenes observation of ECHO’s animal care activities to a LEGO engineering challenge. ECHO offers a selection of exciting science, stewardship, and engineering-design themed day camps for children who will be entering 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade in the fall of 2025. Led by STEM educators, our program takes full advantage of ECHO’s exhibits and outdoor location next to beautiful Lake Champlain.
