Our Story
echoingU of Northeast Ohio is a part of Echoing Hills, founded in 1967 by Rev. D. Cordell Brown. Echoing Hills was founded to provide a premier Summer Camp experience for individuals with special needs. In the years since, our vision has expanded. We now provide premier recreational, residential, vocational, travel and educational services throughout the state of Ohio. All of these programs are in alignment with our values: the right to choose, the dignity of each person, personal fulfillment in God's plan and a relationship with Jesus Christ.
echoingU is a post-secondary transition program for young adults with disabilities. The program is designed to prepare students for the future by blending classroom instruction with exploration of local communities. Students learn about employment options, discover ways to connect in their communities and establish natural supports. Through echoingU, students are going on to achieve independent living, competitive employment and higher education.
