Camp Indian Echo Closed Until Further Notice

We regret to inform you that Camp Indian Echo will be closed until further notice. The water well that supplies all water in the camp has dried up. We are in the beginning processes of getting estimates and securing permitting from the county to replace the well, and will keep you informed as we learn more.

If you have a reservation for camping or plans to attend an event at Camp Indian Echo, we will gladly credit you or refund your money; please contact Kristie Wiley: (813) 262-1765.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this unforeseen circumstance may cause, and invite you to visit one of our other camp properties in the meantime.

The council has five camp properties and the Plant City Troop House, providing many opportunities for resident and day camping as well as other programs.

A summer camp brochure is distributed in the spring with information on programs, dates, locations and age requirements. Whether your daughter is interested in horseback riding, sailing or dramatic arts, there is a place for her at a camp!

Please Note: For directions to camp properties or to schedule a camp visit, please e-mail ayates@gswcf.org or call (813) 281-4475, ext 1690.
