As a parent, you are committed to the well-being and enjoyment of your children’s camp adventure. You desire for them to experience a fun-filled and safe place, and so do we. We at Eagle Lake are committed to three elements that help make that a reality: our people, our programs, and our property.

 

 

People
Here at Eagle Lake, the single most important element of a great camp experience is our people. Eagle Lake has a long-standing tradition of finding the best college-age summer staff, and our full-time staff are committed to helping them become the best counselors for your camper. Your camper's counselor is someone who will not only teach your child, but also invest in his or her personal and spiritual life. Many of our campers have been so positively affected that they return as counselors.

Program
Eagle Lake
’s programs are both fun and run at a high safety standard, two things that are key to an enjoyable camp experience. Combining innovation with evaluated knowledge help Eagle Lake to continue to offer new and unique programs each and every year. This assures that every camper, whether they have been here before or not, will have an unforgettable experience.

Property

Property can be looked at as just a piece of land. That could not be further from the truth at Eagle Lake. Eagle Lake is made up of 330 of the most beautiful acres in Pike National Forest. Surrounded by over 10,000 acres of forest, Eagle Lake offers an incredible opportunity to experience God’s beauty, mixed with great cabins, awesome activities, and our own private ten-acre lake.

The goal of Eagle Lake Camp is to inspire Christ-centered love and commitment, through counselor relationships, in the midst of exciting outdoor experiences. As you look through this brochure, consider how your kids are growing up...and how you can help them grow as Jesus did: “...in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man” (Luke 2:52).

Eagle Lake's Resident (REZ) Camps encompass a wide variety of interests and a myriad of fun activities, all in one location nine miles northwest of Colorado Springs. Never boring and with a new theme each summer, Resident Camp makes the most of our beautiful 9,600-ft. elevation, 330-acre property. Whether you catch some air off the blob or zip 35-miles-an-hour down the zipline, the key word here is "fun"(and lots of it). Spiritual impact, wrapped in the most fun a kid can have - that's Rez Camp.

Different every year, Rez Camp's schedule is packed with a variety of activities, all revolving around the summer's conceptual theme. In general:

Mornings are group-oriented (hikes, team-building initiatives and games)

Afternoons are individual-oriented (supervised free time activities)

Evenings are meeting-oriented (opening and closing ceremonies, campfire, concert)

Eagle Lake Residential Camp 1 out of 5 stars

Reviewed by: kdiffee, 2009-08-05 11:55:06 (Modified: 2009-08-05 00:00:00)

The camp is beautiful but not well run or well maintained. They bring in too many kids for the space they have and all kids are not able to do all the activities. Very expensive with poor food quality and poor staff. They bring in college students to be counselors and while some may be great many seem to be there for their own experience and have little desire to build relationships with the kids. The medical staff is poorly trained and not able to care for very many kids. I would not recommend this camp at all. Their facilities are sub-standard and not very clean. They benefit from the health dept not being able to make visits anymore. It has a great setting and could be great camp but they don't have professionals with knowledge of camping running it. Spend your money elsewhere.
