1: June 22-July 4, Lifeguards in Training, Boathouse
$2,990 until Jan 31 - Regular Rate $3,115
Experience all Eagle Island offers while working toward your American Red Cross Lifeguarding with Waterfront Skills Certification. You'll spend part of your day in class on the waterfront and the rest enjoying activities like arts and crafts, paddling, and nature.
Prerequisites: Age 15+, swim 550 yards, tread water for 2 minutes, complete a timed event (swim 20 yards, dive 7-10 feet for a 10-pound object, swim back, and exit the water). Successful completion earns a certificate valid for 2 years.
2: July 6 - July 18, Skippers, Boathouse
$2,990 until Jan 31 - Regular Rate $3,115
The goal of Eagle Island's Skippers program is to develop a lifelong love of sailing through skill-building and a positive experience. Campers learn sailing basics like rigging, steering, tacking, and more, both on and off the water. They gain self-confidence, teamwork, and camaraderie while having fun on the water, making sailing accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
3: July 20 - August 1, Junior Leadership, Boathouse
$2,125 until Jan 31 - Regular Rate $2,250
This two-week program builds leadership skills while participating in regular camp activities. You'll learn about youth development, communication, event planning, and more, with hands-on experience planning and leading activities for younger campers.
In the third week, serve as a Junior Counselor for our Day Camp from August 4-8 to further enhance your skills. To add this opportunity, select the "Weekend" add-on during registration.
New this year!
ADD A WEEKEND — Campers can "add on" a weekend, allowing them to stay three to six weeks without going home—ideal for those extending beyond two-week sessions! In CampDoc, select the weekend "add-on" for sessions longer than two weeks. Note: adding a weekend requires committing to another consecutive week.
LAUNDRY SERVICE — Laundry service is available for campers staying two weeks or more. Laundry is picked up weekly and returned within 1-2 days. The service costs $25 and can be added during registration in CampDoc.
Our groups are kept intentionally small to allow staff and campers to build strong connections and for staff to tailor programming to the interests and needs of each camper.
Registration is done by housing and age. Learn more about our housing options here.
Activities
In everything we do, we inspire and empower girls and young women to be confident, collaborative, and courageous. Located on Upper Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks, Eagle Island offers programs centered on water and wilderness activities, along with a variety of arts, sports, nature, music, and team-building opportunities led by staff and campers.
**To sail safely, campers must pass a deep-water swim test that includes a feet-first entry, treading water, floating on their back, swimming 40 yards, rotating 360 degrees, and exiting the water unassisted.

Our Beliefs
Eagle Island offers a completely “unplugged” experience, with no technology and many campers staying in platform tents without electricity. Life at camp is intentionally slower than at home or school, focusing on a relaxed, camper-led, inclusive atmosphere connected to nature. While campers enjoy rich programming, there’s also time for slower-paced activities—like card games in tents, arts and crafts on a lakeside deck, peaceful walks to the waterfront, reading, letter-writing, spontaneous games, puzzles, or silly singing before meals. These unstructured moments are as valuable as the formal activities.
