During your time on the island you will have access to a fridge and freezer that you can use for personal food items. We will provide labeling supplies so you can identify your food in the communal storage spaces. 

Each afternoon, kids can join Camper Experience for a couple hours of fun, supervised camp programming led by Eagle Island staff. While kids are busy, parents can take some well-earned time for themselves—read by the lake, go for a kayak, take a nap, enjoy a quiet coffee, or simply do absolutely nothing. Everyone gets to enjoy camp in their own way!

• Additional Requests: If there’s something additional your family needs or would like us to accommodate, please input here or reach out to our Camp Director (campdirector@eagleisland.org). We’re happy to try and work with you and create a fee package that makes sense for your family.

Added items while at camp will be billed after your Family Camp program.

We’ll accommodate special requests when we can, while also keeping in mind that we’re a camp environment—not a concierge service. Within those boundaries, we’re excited to welcome you and help create a wonderful stay.

We have made a price calculator so you can estimate the cost of your family attending with the length of stay, ages, and housing preferences for those in your group.

You can find that calculator HERE!

We’re committed to keeping this program affordable. If you or anyone finds it challenging to afford tuition, please reach out to us at campdirector@eagleisland.org.

This is a group-focused, kid-friendly camp experience, with lots of campers running around, making friends, and creating their own camp memories alongside their adults. It’s the perfect opportunity to gather your favorite people, let the kids spend the week together, and enjoy all the magic as a family.

At Eagle Island, family is who you make it. Think cousins, grandparents, friends, neighbors, and groups of families who want to share a week at camp together.
