EcoCamp
For over 20 years, the ERC has offered youth opportunities to connect with nature, make new and meaningful friendships, and grow their confidence through its flagship EcoCamp programs. One of the first backcountry and science focused, overnight youth programs in the area, EcoCamps and Trips have evolved into a variety of offerings for youth with different levels of comfort and challenge. We love to chat on the phone about these impactful experiences, and the differences in these cultivated adventures. after reading below, please reach out if you are interested and we will happily provide additional information.
This summer, the ERC is offering six sessions of overnight EcoCamps for rising 5th-6th grade students and rising 7th-9th grade students.
EcoCamp offers campers the chance to spend a week full of FUN in Idaho’s natural world. Our environmental education and action camps are designed to give campers the confidence, skills, and tools necessary to work toward environmental renewal while recreating, and help them develop a passion and appreciation for wild places.
The ERC is committed to providing quality environmental education programs to a wide range of participants. Our voluntary pricing structure offers three tiers based on your family’s needs. The price you choose is confidential and does not affect the quality of the camper’s experience.
Rate A: $350. This is the most affordable rate and is provided in an effort to make camp accessible for all interested participants. This rate only partially represents our costs for operating camp and is subsidized by generous donations and grants.
Rate B: $455. This rate is also partially subsidized by grants and donors. This represents a slight discount so that campers may attend while also helping the ERC better cover some camp costs.
Rate C: $695. This rate more accurately represents the actual cost of EcoCamp operations. By selecting this rate, you enable us to utilize scholarship funds for others.
Scholarships: We love connecting people to nature! If camp fees are an obstacle to enrollment, we are committed to working with you. Please contact us at (208) 726-4333 or email peyton@ercsv.org.
