FALL GETAWAY FAQs

  • Where will we stay?

    We will stay at Echo Grove Camp in Leonard, MI. Echo Grove cabins have Twin XL bunk beds. We house students by sex (male / female) and by campus. We can accommodate special needs and requests, so please let us know. We plan a pretty full schedule so you probably won't spend a lot of time in the housing, but it is clean and functional. You do need to bring some bedding items (see packing list below).

  • How can I get there?

    We help arrange all the rides to make sure you and all your friends can get to Echo Grove Camp. When you register, you'll fill in all the details about whether you can drive or need a ride, where you'll be coming from, when you need to get home. We will group you up with people from your campus and/or people you know.
