Special Activities

Eagle’s Nest Camp also has many times throughout the week when campers can participate in special activities aside from those classes they enjoy during the four scheduled activity periods each day.

Every weekday evening campers have their choice of five activities during our Twilight period. This time allows for campers to experience activities at Eagle’s Nest that they might not have signed up to do everyday. These choices often include activities like swimming or canoeing at the lake, an athletic game such as kickball or ultimate frisbee on the athletic field, an arts and crafts activity like ceramics or tie dye, a nature hike or four leaf clover search, and even letter writing or knitting on the front porch.

In addition, each evening after we gather as a camp community for goodnight circle, the entire camp participates in an evening activity. The announcement of these activities, through skits presented by the counselors, is always eagerly anticipated by our campers. Some favorites include campfires, Air Guitar performances by cabin groups, camp wide games of Sardines, dances, and talent nights.

Saturday afternoons are always special at Eagle’s Nest as well. We have a camp wide activity each Saturday offering campers a fun filled afternoon spent with the entire camp community. Saturday activities could include trying to solve a mystery in a live game of Clue, building your own boats out of cardboard and plastic objects for the Regatta race across the lake, being challenged in a game of World Cup Soccer, participating in a huge game of “Survivor”, or Capture the Flag. The Saturday afternoon activity is followed by a cookout and square dance which features live music from local musicians.
