A Typical Day - Day Camp

Morning Boat Ride: 9 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.

Interest Tracks: 9:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Get ready for a morning full of camper led choices and fun! Activities are varied and include canoeing, sailing, arts and craft (a variety of different projects), nature exploration, and music. Campers will stick with these activities for the week to go deep in an interest area and develop and grow their skills.

Behind the scenes, our program specialists craft the Interest Track menu blending Eagle Island’s resources, staff skills, and camper passions to create the best experience for each camper.

Lunch: 1 p.m. - 1:45 p.m.

At lunch, you can always expect a vegetable and a hot meal like grilled cheese, pasta, soups, and camper favorites like chicken patties. For campers with dietary restrictions and allergies, we always have an appropriate meal available for them. (Please make sure all dietary restrictions are up to date in your camper’s CampDoc Health profile.)

In addition to these daily offerings there is a packed salad bar including fruits and vegetables whose rainbow colors rival those that appear over the Ampersand Mountain Range after an afternoon sun shower. Lunch isn't just about food; it's a perfect moment for campers and counselors to check in and connect. 

 Waterfront: 2 p.m. - 4 p.m.

Get ready for aquatic adventures! At our waterfront, every camper gets to make a splash in swimming lessons tailored to their skill level. Once the lesson wraps up, it's time to continue with free swimming and boating. We have canoes, touring kayaks, sit on top kayaks, and CORCLs (small boats designed specifically for kids ages 7-15 that are small and light and easy to maneuver).

We also have a variety of on-land programming waiting for you if you do not wish to remain in the water after your swim lesson like field games or friendship bracelet making!

Boat Rides to Mainland: 4:30 p.m. - 5 p.m.
