Adirondack Summer Camp Programs 

Eagle Island Youth Camp

Eagle Island offers week long day camp and overnight (sleep-away) camp programs for children entering grades 3-9. Daily camp activities include open waterfront time (swimming, kayaking, crafting, etc.), swim lessons, STEM-inspired outdoor education, camper-choice activities, and camper-led play in the Peninsula, an open space for campers to explore and create their own fun. Other activities offered include nature education, team-building, crafts, and survival skills such as fire-building and shelter-building.Eagle Island Camp believes that the summer camp experience should serve as an extension of each camper’s education, so they place a high emphasis on hands-on activities geared toward each individual’s unique skills and abilities.
