Thank you for your support to our Snow Relief Fund!

In January 2026, record snowfall in Juneau impacted our community, creating dangers and causing critical damage to structures all over town, including the collapse of our Diller Fieldhouse. This building contained our Gym, Game Room, Craft Room, Weight Room, and Loft (summer staff hangout space). We also store most of our vehicles in the Fieldhouse during the winter, and some of them were damaged or destroyed in the collapse.

Thanks to many generous donations to our Snow Relief Fund, we were able to clean up the aftermath of the collapse; replace many of the destroyed vehicles; and build a temporary hoop barn structure to serve as our Gym and winter vehicle storage area until we can build a permanent replacement for the Fieldhouse. We’re so thankful to all who gave toward this need, and to God for providing everything we needed to have an amazing camp season even without the Gym!

  • The General Fund

    Our largest operating costs each year are food for our campers and staff, fuel for our vehicles and generators, and hay for our horses! Your gift to this fund literally helps keep camp running every day, and helps us address other unforeseen needs that arise.

  • Camper Scholarship Fund

    Each year, Echo Ranch extends on average $20,000 in camp scholarships and travel aid to families who need financial assistance to send their children to camp. We need continued contributions to this fund to be able to offer these scholarships. Help give an Alaskan kid the best week of their summer!

  • Haines Renovations Project

    We recently completed our next phase in our long-term project to renovate the Echo Ranch Haines infrastructure: building a new bathhouse up the hill at camp, one that is much closer to the cabins and much more pleasant to use and maintain. The next steps in the plan include finishing renovations in the dining hall.

Support a Staff Member

Did you know that Echo Ranch doesn’t pay any of its full-time staff? All the full-time staff of ERBC are missionaries with Avant Ministries, responsible for fundraising their own finances to serve at camp. Without direct financial support to our staff, there would be no one to keep camp running. You can support one of our staff members or families with a one-time gift or a monthly commitment!

Learn more about staff members and find a link to give to them here.
