Located in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of western North Carolina, Eagle’s Nest is a place that encourages wonder and helps children grow through meaningful experiences. In addition to learning skills in their self-selected activities, campers experience the joy of being independent and making friends in a fun, safe, and vibrant camp community. Accredited by the American Camp Association, Eagle’s Nest is focused on maintaining the highest possible level of safety and hiring the most qualified and experienced counselors, staff, and administration. We embrace the richness of diversity and importance of inclusion, and encourage personal responsibility and self-knowledge. Eagle’s Nest is a safe, supportive, and nurturing community where children can be themselves, try new things, and step out of their comfort zones.

Activities: Children participate in four activities each day. The activities are self-selected from the categories of Wilderness, Arts/Music/Drama, Athletics, and Special Activities. While teaching each activity, we stress the importance of community awareness, skill-building, and sportsmanship while striving to promote a healthy, joyful lifestyle. And, of course, we have FUN!

Added Adventures: As children grow at Eagle’s Nest, they are encouraged to participate in Added Adventures that we offer. Added adventures are for 5th and 6th graders. During these added adventures, which take place during regular camp sessions, campers spend a week on an experiential journey either to the Sea Islands of Georgia, on a rafting trip down the French Broad River, or learning outdoor skills in the Pisgah National Forest.

Hante Adventures are two or three week travel expeditions for teenagers (grades 7-11) to various locations around the United States and the world.
