2020 Eagle’s Nest Foundation
ANNUAL REPORT Experiential education for young people, promoting the natural world and the betterment of human character.
LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Eagle’s Nest Families, What a year 2020 was for everyone, and Eagle’s Nest was no exception. When we made the determination to not run summer programs as usual, you, our loyal friends and families, rallied around us. With words of encouragement, hours of volunteer time, and gifts to the Annual Fund, you buoyed our spirits and provided the financial support that helped bridge the void that a loss of summer income created. Despite the difficulties we faced last year, there were also many bright, shining moments. Our semester 50 faculty and students showed incredible resilience creating and adapting to an online curriculum. In May, we wrapped up construction (under budget and on time) of our long-planned Housing and Offices Building. Our family retreats this summer provided respite for many and Noni Waite-Kucera, Executive Director of Eagle’s Nest Foundation. brought us great joy to once again have people on our campus. This fall, we “built a bubble” for our school and had in-person learning on campus throughout the full semester. For all of this, I owe an incredible debt of gratitude to the faculty, staff, and trustees of our organization who worked tirelessly and above and beyond any call of duty to make 2020 a success. While some of our efforts toward our Centennial Priorities had to be put on the back burner this year, we have been making significant progress on others. Toward diversity, equity, and inclusion, we have updated our gender inclusion policy and are working now to make updates to our dorms and cabins to accommodate those policy changes. Our board began the work of creating a trustee DEI Committee, and Camp in particular has been engaging in work toward re-imagining and re-modeling our groups formally known as tribes in an effort to continue the previously begun work of removing names, symbols and activities irreverent of Native American peoples and culture. We have also made significant strides in streamlining some of our business practices around budgeting and financial modeling to increase our nimbleness in a time that is requiring such. While we did not have summer campers for whom we awarded financial aid, we did grant 28 of our total 48 Outdoor Academy students $423,300 in aid in 2020. Of that total, $144,490 (34%) was generously funded by you, our donors, through both the Annual Fund and our endowed scholarships. The endowed scholarships designated for Camp and Hante for 2020 that were not granted will be rolled over to 2021 to help expand the aid we are able to give when we know needs will likely be high. Our year ahead will have challenges of its own, but we also know we will face them with you by our side. I am eternally grateful for your support that has come in so many ways. Eagle’s Nest Foundation remains strong because of you. With deepest gratitude,

Letter from the
Camp Director In a year that has been challenging on many levels, my heart has been filled with so much gratitude. I am enormously grateful to the Eagle’s Nest community for lifting up and supporting Eagle’s Nest in the months following our announcement that we would not be able to open camp for our campers during the summer of 2020.
Paige Lester-Niles (far right), husband Andy, daughter Posey, and son Finn.
Community
Minutes after the announcement was made, we began receiving messages of support and love, along with donations to help us meet the financial challenges of being without tuition for an entire season. In total, we received $52,110 in camp tuition donations, and over 180 families rolled over all or part of their tuition from 2020 to 2021. In a time of great need, you all stepped up to do what you could for a community that you hold dear. Reading your messages and reconnecting with Eagle’s Nesters from years past gave us the strength and encouragement to keep going! I’ve always said that Eagle’s Nesters are the best
Confidence
EAGLE’S NEST CAMP & HANTE people I know. I feel and believe that now more than ever! With your support, we started to dream about what we COULD do! Eagle’s Nesters are a creative and resilient group; we know how to bring magic to a rained out cookout. It brought us joy to imagine what could be and to create something that would allow us to continue to share the Eagle’s Nest community with others. In mid-June, after just a few short weeks of planning and building a brand new program, we opened campus for “Family Retreats.” We were so excited when the first family rolled up to the gate! When they rolled down their window for screening, we passed each family a bag of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, and each round of screening questions included “Are you excited for the next few days at Eagle’s Nest Camp?” Fortunately, that was the only question on the list that received an enthusiastic “YES!” For the next five weeks, we welcomed 39 families for a long weekend during which they enjoyed swimming in the lake, doing yoga, helping in the garden, hiking the trails, eating great food, making tie dyes, and laughing by the campfire as the sun set and the stars shined. We loved reconnecting
Compassion
with alums, getting to know camper parents and providing a place where people could find peace and joy. As I look forward to the upcoming summer, I’m grateful that our enrollment for 2021 is strong. I know that our campers and their parents are eager for the experience of being in a community where they can play, be outdoors and be kids away from the stresses of the world. We’re eager to provide that experience and have been working not only on the precautions that will keep our campers and staff healthy, but also on a program that will be magical and FUN! We know that the summer of 2021 will look a little different, but we also know that it will be wonderful in its own special way. Thank you for your tremendous support this year! Thank you for opening your heart and your arms to Eagle’s Nest and embracing us in your care. We look forward to the day when we can give you a big hug back.

LETTER FROM THE OA DIRECTOR Semesters 50 & 51 Greetings from 43 Hart Road and The Outdoor Academy! The thirty wonderful young people who have decided to make OA Semester 52 part of their high school experience are currently on the trail, braving chilly rains and steep ascents. They are settling into an eleven-day expedition during which they will not only form deep connections over campfire laughs and shared struggles, but they will also build a student bubble that will have the rare opportunity to spend these next four months largely unmasked and in close contact as they live and learn together. Semester 51 was an incredible success marked by good health, meaningful in-person learning, and immediate impact on the lives of its 28 exceptional students. Glenn DeLaney with his son, Elem.
Intellect
Indeed, few schools anywhere are able to do what we have been able to do here at The Outdoor Academy, though it has looked a bit different at times. Teachers are masked up and keeping
Environment
THE OUTDOOR ACADEMY their distance, we have put trips to Smiley’s and Mountain Song on hold for the time being, and we are not belting out “Left Hind Leg of a Rabbit” at the top of our lungs before lunch. We have had to carefully wrap some of these traditions up and place them gently on a shelf for safekeeping, but we know where they are and will dust them off when the time is right. In the meantime, however, our Cornerstones of Intellect, Environment, Craft, and Community are as rock-solid as ever, and our students have been able to fully immerse themselves in a distinctive academic experience and a powerful community setting. It has taken immense work on the part of our faculty, administrators, the Eagle’s Nest Foundation staff, OA families, and our wonderful partners at Transylvania County Health Department to pull this off. Folks worked through their vacations, teachers have creatively planned new approaches to how we operate, and parents have honored us with their faith in our vision and trust in our plans. None of these efforts, however, would have been possible without you. Your support of Eagle’s Nest Foundation and The Outdoor Academy—particularly in such a challenging year—has made an OA experience
Community
accessible for so many of our students. They are the reason we come to work in the morning, and your generosity and belief in our mission has given us that opportunity. <maybe insert some financial aid stats here?> Whether you were a student, parent, faculty member, or simply a friend of the school, you left your mark on OA. Your continued financial support is helping our current students, who so desperately need the community and the challenges we offer, to leave their own mark. More importantly, you are supporting the growth of young people who will have the desire, the skills, and the courage to go forth from OA prepared to build communities and meet the challenges that the world has in store for them. On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students of The Outdoor Academy, you have our deepest gratitude. Give thanks!

SPECIAL CAMPAIGNS Our Camp families helped to ensure the future of Eagle’s Nest Camp by donating a portion or all of their 2020 paid tuition.
Camp Tuition Donations
Total raised $52,110 Total # of donors: 106
In 2020, Eagle’s Nest Foundation launched the Gear Lending Library initiative in an effort to provide access to quality outdoor gear and clothing for campers and students to enhance their outdoor experiences and also help to relieve the financial burden of Camp, Hante, and The Outdoor Academy for our families. We are still building our Gear Lending Library and are grateful for donations of gently used and/or new items. Donors who donated items to the GLL: Dee Anna Smith Cara Varney Holly Resnick David Morgan Liberty Mountain Michelle Turner Kristine Hall S51 Families who donated funds for the GLL: Sarah Alvord Lloyd and Ashley Bell Leslee Alexander and Paul Breeding Mariana and Noah Byrd Alene and Keith Campbell Brian Fireman Heather Graham and Christopher Gergen Sally and Jeff Lewis Dana and Greg Wilmoth
OA Semester 51 families were given the opportunity to donate funds that would specifically go toward purchasing items for the Gear Lending Library. Semester 51 families donated $817 toward this initiative, which has been used (along with other funds) to purchase foul weather bibs, puffy jackets, zero degree sleeping bags, liner gloves, mittens, and fleece pants as a way to provide additional cold-weather gear for participants. If you’re interested in donating gently used and/or new items to the Gear Lending Library, please contact David Morgan at david@enf.org.

SPECIAL CAMPAIGNS
Just because we weren’t able to celebrate The Outdoor Academy’s 25-year milestone as planned doesn’t mean we won’t have a celebration; it just means we have to get creative! As we reflect on the 51 semesters’ worth of students and faculty that have shaped the OA program, we find that so many components of a semester at OA remain the same, especially the integral sense of community. In celebrating 25 years (plus 1!) of The Outdoor Academy, we will strive to emulate the strong sense of community found in each and every semester and share it among the entirety of OA students, alumni, former and current staff, OA families, friends of OA, and more during the OA 25th Anniversary celebration. What does this look like? As much as we long for an in-person gathering in which we can hug, sing and hold hands, and share meals communally, we need to continue to protect everyone’s health and safety. So, we will be hosting virtual activities in honor of this incredible OA community later this year. We’re working on finalizing details, so stay tuned for more information.

OA PARENT'S CAMPAIGN CHAIRS Semester 50
Semester 51
Given the circumstances surrounding the spring worldwide pandemic, we held off on running a Parents Campaign in Semester 50. However, Semester 50 parents donated over $2,600 from room and board refunds that were issued in response to the transition into virtual learning due to COVID-19.
Semester 51 Parents raised $29,525 (which set a new record high in OA Parents campaign history!) with 83% participation. In addition, Semester 51 families donated $817 to our Gear Lending Library.

There are many staff members—from OA faculty to summer counselors, to administrators, to camp nurses— who give back not only their time but their financial support to the Annual Fund. These individuals are recognized throughout the Honor Roll with two stars alongside each name. We honor the commitment they have each made to Eagle’s Nest and the young people we serve.
