1. How much does it cost to attend EC Week? There is no cost for campers to attend. EC Week is funded entirely on donations and fundraisers.
2. Does everyone who applies get to come to Camp? No, there is an application process that must be completed. The staff then processes the applications to make sure that the camper is appropriate for Camp, and that the needs of the camper can be met by our volunteer staff. Space is also limited to approximately 150 campers. You can download and submit a wait list application here.
3. Once a camper attends once, is he/she guaranteed to be invited again every year? No. While many campers return to EC Week several times, the director has sole discretion in which campers attend EC Week.
4. I want to volunteer; how do I apply? EC Week is a large extended family. New staff members must be sponsored by a current, or former staff person. Several letters of recommendation, as well as a criminal background check are mandatory. Please email the director if you do not know anyone who has been to EC Week.
5. How old does a volunteer have to be? All counselors must be at least 18 years of age. We do have a waiter staff of boys between 15 and 17 years of age. All food is served at Camp "family style". If you need more information on becoming a waiter please email the director. All waiters must have a relative IN CAMP during EC Week.
6. I would like to make a donation of products for EC Week; should I just drop them off at Camp? No, we ask that you contact the director prior to sending anything to Camp. We require advance notice so that we can determine if the product can be used, and also so that if we do need it, we can remove it from our list of things to buy.
7. Has EC Week been the recipient of any national award for the work it does? Yes! We proudly accepted the Eleanor Eells Award in 2006.
