Building Authentic Relationships

You're never too young to learn the values of life-long friendship. Campers build community and trust with 11 other campers and 2 counselors. Without the distractions of phones, campers have the opportunity to engage in adventures that bond them together and teach them how to engage with each other authentically. Time and time again we see campers start the week as total strangers and leave camp as best friends. Giving campers the gift of Christ-centered friendships that grow over the years is just another way that we seek to inspire Christ-like change.


What is Twice the Adventure?

River’s Edge Twice the Adventure is a 2-week-long summer camp session. Campers spend their first week at Camp Eagle taking part in our regular programming. During the second week, campers head into our Camp Eagle backcountry for a week of camping that is fully outfitted by Camp Eagle and facilitated by our summer Wilderness Guides. It's a chance for campers to dive deeper into the scripture they learned during week one and to solidify the new friendships they have made. Twice the adventure, twice the fun, and memories that last forever.


FAQs

Preparing Your Camper

We want your camper (and you) to enjoy Camp Eagle. So, here's our advice on how to prep your camper for adventure at camp!

Start Talking Now

If your camper has never been away overnight, try a weekend at a friend's house. This will also give you time to talk through any concerns or anxiety you or your camper may have about camp.

Get Active!

If your camper is unaccustomed to lots of physical activity, prepare for camp adventures by slowly increasing their activities in the weeks leading up to camp.

What to Pack & What to Leave Behind

Download our full packing list and parent packet here! It includes all the information on what to bring for your camper to be fully prepared for a Camp Eagle summer experience.


Here is a quick look at what NOT to pack:

  • Campers do not need their cell phones at camp. If a camper has a cell phone it will be neatly locked away in a cubby.
  • Walkie­ Talkies
  • Knives, weapons, or anything sharp
  • Pets—not even little, cute pets.
  • Alcohol or drugs
  • Your own harness and/or helmet
  • MP3 players
  • Electronic Devices
  • Snacks
  • Anything your or your camper would miss if it were lost


Squirrel Bags + Camper Credit

Squirrel Bags

Squirrel bags are a great way to get some Camp Eagle gear that is both functional and fun! These bags come in three variations (acorn, oak, and grand oak) and must be purchased through your online account at least one week before your session begins so they can be ready for your camper. Check out our Squirrel Bag options:


Acorn $40

1 Camp Eagle Bag

1 Camp Eagle Shirt

1 Camp Eagle Water Bottle


Oak $60

Grand Oak $85

Camper Credit

Camp credit is money campers can spend during their visits to The Nest. This eliminates the need to send cash as it can get lost easily. You can add money to your camper's account online under “Camper Credit” before the session as well as monitor their balance during the week and add more funds if needed. At the end of your camper’s session, you will choose if the remaining funds will be donated to camp or refunded if the balance is over $5.



Camper Mail & Photos

Camper Mail

Campers LOVE to get mail! Mail will be delivered to campers every day at lunch. Please be courteous in the size of mail sent due to the number of campers and staff we have at Camp Eagle each week storage for big boxes can be an issue. Additionally, please no food or candy as it can attract unwanted insects and critters and can also create challenging situations, especially if other campers have specific food allergies.


Pre-Written:

We encourage you to “pre-write” your cards and letters and drop them off with us on check-in day. Please put your camper's name and the day you would like them to receive each piece of mail on the front of the envelope.


Digital Mail:

We have a one-way email service where you can send messages to your camper to be printed and delivered throughout the week. You can purchase an unlimited Camper Mail package for $10 in your online account.


Shipped:

If you would like to send your camper mail, please make sure to send it at least a week in advance through UPS. This is the address to use:
