The Magic of Morry | A Documentary Film
We have really exciting news to share. A documentary film about our beloved Morry Stein is in the works, and we need your help!
Echo Lake alumni and many camp families past and present were fortunate enough to know Morry Stein as the owner and director of Camp Echo Lake for over thirty years. Many of us also knew that Morry’s vision was the inspiration behind Project Morry.
Morry believed that anyone, regardless of means, background or economic standing could benefit and grow from a summer camp experience, a sense of belonging and a sense of community. He believed in people sometimes more than they believed in themselves and he always saw potential in others before most.
“The Magic of Morry” is a documentary film. It tells Morry’s story from his upbringing in Pennsylvania through his years of running Camp Echo Lake with his wife, Amy Stein, to his heartbreaking passing some 20 years ago. But this is not a story of tragedy. It is a story of hope, of dreams and of inspiration. “The Magic of Morry” will bring Morry’s story alive through a collection of many diverse voices, through interviews with family, colleagues, friends, Echo Lake and Morry’s Camp alumni. And, we are delighted to say that this film can help Project Morry for years to come. The film will be made through a non-profit entity and proceeds will go to help support Project Morry.
This journey will also present a parallel story of several young people who attended Morry’s Camp, and whose lives were enriched and changed forever because of Morry’s vision and because of their time and experience at Morry’s Camp.
