In an age in which camps are getting bigger, less personal, and stressing electronics and athletic competition more and more, there is a need for camps that offer a genuine camping experience and an opportunity for our children to live in harmony with themselves, others, and the environment.
 
Night Eagle exists to introduce the youth of today to the wonders of nature and to offer them that rare moment in which they can slow down, escape the modern world of cell phones, television, and video games, and discover new aspects in the meaning of life.

Located in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains, Night Eagle Wilderness Adventures is a unique primitive summer camp for boys ages 10-14 that is designed to build a boy’s self- confidence and foster a better understanding of native peoples and their relationship with the earth. Boys live in Lakota style tipis and share in the cooking, which is done over an open fire. 65 Days and evenings are filled with quiet crafts, active games, meaningful discussions, homemade music, storytelling, and a hundred other activities.

Activities tend to spring from the environment and teach boys to rely on their own ingenuity. Soon after their arrival, campers are busy carving bows and arrows, paddling canoes, creating birch bark baskets, throwing darts with an atlatl, making moccasins and rattles, mastering the art of tracking and camouflage, identifying wild edibles, and learning to build fires with flint and steel and bow drills. Through these activities and the slower pace of life in camp, boys naturally develop a deeper respect for the land and an authentic sense of personal accomplishment as they learn to live competently in the woods.

Through mutual responsibility, community living and group decision making, campers learn to live in harmony with themselves, others and nature, as they work and play together in a spirit of cooperation rather than competition.

Our two private lakes surrounded by young forest, and our own wetlands provide an ideal setting for all types of waterfront activities and are well-suited for developing a boy's self-confidence and physical coordination.
With the Appalachian Trail and Vermont's Long Trail running along our western border we are able to off a wide variety of wilderness trips where campers can enjoy firsthand the deep forest, clear streams, and beautiful mountains of New England.
