ECHO STEM Camps are happening! Spots available starting June 22-26 (Entering 1st-6th) Learn more and sign up: https://www.echovermont.org/events-programs/camps/ As long as Vermont continues to allow day camps to run and our small program continues to be able to surpass state safety guidelines, ECHO Camps will be happening this summer. We know how important child care is, and we want to support your family just as you support ECHO. Our curriculum is specially designed to accommodate physical distancing guidelines, with small groups, extra time outside, and diligent cleaning protocols. Normally, we rely heavily on thematic hands-on, collaborative projects, but this year we’ll be incorporating more awesome science demonstrations, independent engineering challenges, and outdoor play.
