Camp Echo is on a beautiful parcel of land situated on a peninsula in Fremont, Michigan. The project increases the accommodations of their dining area by 200+ campers and staff. Using the natural state of the land the dining deck protrudes out reaching for the lake views to the south east. To allow for natural light to pervade the space without harsh weather exposure, rigid polycarbonate is introduces to the pediment.

In addition to the dining deck, a social lodge renovation carries through the design elements for continuity and ample natural light. The buildings are to compliment the natural landscape and help campers enjoy their stay to the full.
