I just wanted to send a message to tell you how much I appreciated everyone this summer. I enjoyed every opportunity and I feel so lucky to have worked at such an amazing place. It changed me in all the best ways and I miss it so much already. Eagles Nest does the most amazing things for young people and their staff and I am coming away with the best memories and friendships, and the feeling of being loved.

The best part about camp is that acceptance and community are open to everyone. At camp, every person can be their authentic selves without the fear of judgment that they might have at home or school. One of the first activities that campers participate in is “Air Guitar”. Many new campers are often afraid or nervous to perform in front of the whole camp. However, due to the inclusive and supportive environment of camp, those same nervous kids then go on to participate in things like performing in the camp play or doing comedy routines at “Coffee House”.
