Eagle Island, Inc.has announced that registration is open for Girls’ Overnight Camp on its private 30-acre island on Upper Saranac Lake. This program is for girls entering 5th through 9th grades. Programs are built on the mission to inspire and empower girls and young women to be confident, collaborative, and courageous.
Building on the success of 2019, Eagle Island is again offering All-Gender Day Camp to provide local youth with an island adventure option right after school lets out for summer vacation. There will be two one-week sessions of Day Camp, and this year each week will include an optional one-night overnight stay.
Both programs offer a balance of structured and unstructured programming while maintaining a high ratio of qualified and interactive staff to campers under the leadership of Katrina Dearden, Camp Director.
Activities include: sailing, swimming, nature exploration, arts and crafts, team building, paddle sports, survival skills, and more in a unique wooded island setting.
Arts and crafts will be held on the historic Boathouse porch overlooking the lake with Ampersand and Stony Creek mountains in the distance, while survival skills such as shelter building will use found resources under the majestic trees.
All camp programs take advantage of the natural beauty of the island as well as the historic Family Cabin, Main Lodge, Covered Walkway, and octagonal Dining Room, all built in Adirondack Great Camp style.
All-Gender Day Camp for youth entering grades 3 to 6, $375/week
Session 1: June 29–July 3
Session 2: July 6–July 10
Each week includes an optional one-night overnight stay.
