More About Camp
Small, community-focused, co-ed camp for grades K-12 (ages 6-18). Located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Western NC in the Little River Valley. Eagle's Nest is a small community, simplified and away from global issues. Our camp community educated towards personal responsibility, self knowledge, and personal fulfillment. We embrace the richness of difference and inclusion. Accredited by the ACA, Eagle's Nest is focused on safety regulations, and primarily the quality, age, attitude and experience of the counselors, staff and administration. Campers will take part in small community life while developing new skills, friendships, leadership, individuality and responsibility. We are a safe, supportive place from which to dare to learn.
Activities: In our activities, we strive to promote community awareness, wilderness skills, a sense of connection with nature and origins, skills of music, art and drama, skills of sports and play, and finally to promote a healthy, joyful lifestyle. High levels of skill are taught in art, music, drama, whitewater paddling, rock climbing, wilderness activities, horseback riding, athletics and swimming.
Included within the IN-CAMP program, we offer a one week Added Adventure during Session II: Huck Finn (a raft odyssey down the French Broad River creating much excitement and mischief).
Hantes: One, two, or three week Wilderness Adventures in various locales around the United States and the world.
