McGaw YMCA Camp Echo Camp Echo is a residential YMCA camp on Ryerson Lake near Fremont, Michigan.

07/22/2026

McGaw YMCA Camp Echo is proud to be part of Campfire Across America, a nationwide YMCA moment to bring communities together coast to coast. Whether the campfire is real or symbolic, it reminds us of the power of shared moments, reflection, and belonging.

Campfires have always been at the heart of Camp Echo. Every session begins and ends around the fire, with even more campfire moments during overnights, like the ones featured here. As the sun sets, we come together to build, cook, laugh, reflect, sing, and celebrate the connections that make camp unforgettable.

We also recognize that many individuals and communities are deeply affected by recent wildfires. Our hearts are with all those impacted, and we wish strength and healing as they rebuild in spirit, mind, and body.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of John Donohue, a cherished member of the McGaw YMCA and Camp Echo family for more than 50 years. From teaching sailing on Ryerson Lake and volunteering at camp work weekends to welcoming campers with the Spirit Squad and serving as a McGaw Y board member, John shared his time, generosity, and love for the Y with generations of families and campers.

We are grateful for his extraordinary impact and will miss him greatly. ❤️

Recently, campers Teshawna Rhaburn and Rory McKee (left and right center) hit a Camp Echo milestone, celebrating 10 summers in a row at camp, attending from 3rd grade through teen programs and adventure trips. They’ve grown up at camp and now join the very small club of Echo campers with a full decade of memories. Camp counselors Evan Portnoy (far left) and Max Matsis (far right) also received stickers to mark one decade of attending camp. Both should have received stickers in 2024 but were on adventure trips at the time.

Congrats to all, and here’s to a lifetime of Echo memories! Read what they to say on our website: https://ymcacampecho.org/news/campers-celebrate-10-years/
