Eagle's Nest Camp is a small, nurturing environment located in the mountains of western North Carolina. Our capacity of 158 campers per session allows us to maintain a 1:4 staff to camper ratio and give each child the individual attention they require.

Our philosophy at camp is one of inclusivity; that is, everyone at camp is welcomed and valued as a contributing member of our community. We do not have a religious emphasis; instead we emphasize each child's spirituality and recognize the worth of their beliefs.

Every camper at Eagle's Nest is a member of many different communities, from their cabin group, to their tribe, to their table family, to their activity group. Your child will have the opportunity to meet campers from all over the United States and to make lifelong friendships.

The Eagle's Nest Mission: Experiential education for young people, promoting the natural world and the betterment of human character.
