Eagle’s Nest Camp Information for Parents

Summer 2014 Registration Procedures

Age and Grouping: Campers are accepted from rising 1st graders through rising high school seniors. Participants are grouped in cabins according to grade to ensure homogeneous maturity. Grades 1-6 comprise the ranks of Junior Program Assistants (JPAs) and Program Assistants (PAs). Grades 7-9 comprise the Counselors in Training (CITs). Those who have completed the 10th or 11th grades may apply to be Junior Counselors (JCs). These camper ranks are designed to establish categories for participation in community life.

Tribal Rank: Eagle’s Nest campers are divided into four tribes that facilitate filling the need to belong: Wohelos and Winnesquams (the girls’ tribes) and Natseehos and Migisis (the boys’ tribes). A beginner in each activity is a Papoose. The learning of prescribed skills advances campers to the ranks of Pathfinder, Warrior, Brave and eventually Chief.

Each camper enters the advancement program when he or she starts camp and continues in it throughout the years he or she attends Eagle’s Nest.

Stay-Over Campers: There is a special elective stayover program for campers staying for more than one session. The fee for this program is $200. This program is only open to those campers attending more than one session.

Eagle’s Nest Camp Information for Parents

Financial Aid: A limited portion of our camper population receives some sort of financial aid, often in the form of scholarships called Camperships. This funding is given in light of economic status, family need, and the child’s need for camp. All requests for financial assistance should be made to the camp. Please call, write or see our website to request a Campership Application. To register as a financial aid applicant, please complete the Campership Application and Camp or Hante application and return it with a $150 deposit. There are two application deadlines for consideration for financial assistance: Round 1 - applications postmarked by December 1st will be considered for financial aid; awards announced in January. Round 2 - applications postmarked by February 25th, as well as applicants who did not receive financial aid awards during Round 1, will be considered for financial aid; awards announced in March. Applicants who do not accept awarded aid will receive a full refund of fees paid.

Refund: After March 1st and prior to the beginning of the session a camper is registered to attend, there is no refund for early withdrawal, late arrival, or no-show. Special (*) Hante and Junior Counselor fees are nonrefundable once paid. Eagle’s Nest highly recommends the purchase of travel/tuition insurance.

Cancellation and Dismissal: Due to the high cost of programming, all Hante courses and Added Adventures offered are subject to cancellation. If by March 1st a Hante program or Added Adventure does not have adequately enrolled participants to cover costs, it will be cancelled. Fees paid will be returned in full. Participants unable to finish a Hante or Camp program for any reason will be sent home without refund. We strongly recommend travel tuition insurance. Travel insurance information can be found on our website. The camp reserves the right to dismiss, without refund, any camper who breaks camp policies, whose actions are considered undesirable, or who puts him or herself or other campers at risk.

Medical Form and Camper Insurance: In February, medical and release forms will be sent to each registered camper. Medical forms must be returned by April 15th. Eagle’s Nest requires that all campers have up-todate immunization shots and boosters before arrival at camp. Any request for exception to this policy needs to be brought to the camp’s attention at time of application. All campers are required to carry health insurance. Parents certify at the time of arrival that, to their best knowledge, their child has not been previously exposed to any communicable disease. All medicines, including vitamins, which campers bring are kept by the Health Hut staff and dispensed by the Health Hut staff. Our Health Hut is well equipped and staffed with medical personnel who work in conjunction with health professionals in Brevard. In the case of an accident or illness which requires medical care, prescriptions or supplies beyond services provided by our Health Hut, the family’s insurance will be billed. Any co-pays, prescription costs or charges not covered by insurance are the responsibility of the camper’s family.

Canteen Account:

Accreditation:

Each camper has a canteen account ($60.00 per session recommended for two or three weeks, $30.00 for one week). This should cover such expenditures as camp memorabilia, postage, needed toiletries, and spending money for additional outings. JCs may need an additional amount to cover “JC Outing” expenses. We will do our best to ensure campers do not exceed parents’ initial canteen deposit. Charges for shipping trunks and additional medical expenses are also handled through canteen accounts. Any balance above $10.00 that is not picked up at closing will be refunded. Unclaimed Canteen balances of $10.00 or less will be donated to the camp scholarship fund unless otherwise

The American Camp Association accredits Eagle’s Nest Camp and Hante Adventures.

Our activities meet or exceed the ACA’s safety standards.

The health and safety of campers is of utmost concern in everything that we do.

Hante Adventures 2014 - Step Out and Learn Hante Rocks and Rivers, Session II (grades 9 - 11, $2,900)

Venture through the wilds of the southern Appalachians on this leadership-focused Hante. Participants will spend equal time backpacking, whitewater paddling and rock climbing. While on the Hante they will learn and develop the technical and interpersonal skills necessary to lead groups in the wilderness and beyond. This is an excellent opportunity for teens who are interested in being outdoor leaders or building wilderness skills. Meets at Eagle's Nest Camp. *Hante Spain, Session II (grades 8 - 11, $4,600 + group airfare)

Take a walk through Spanish history! This trip will entail significant cultural immersion, most notably through a lightweight backpacking trek following the famous pilgrimage route on The Camino de Santiago. The adventure will begin in Barcelona where the group will absorb Mediterranean culture and explore Catalan modernism in art and architecture. From Barcelona, participants will travel north west by train to Madrid where they’ll tour some of the Capitol's most famous museums and explore Spain through the ages. The journey continues as the group travels further northwest to begin their pilgrimage on the Camino De Santiago. This ancient pilgrimage has been made for over a thousand years by persons of all races, religions, and spiritual devotions. Participants will walk to Finnesterre, the physical terminus of the Camino. Traveling Spain from coast to coast both by train and foot, the group will glimpse the country through the eyes of its citizens, pilgrims, the spiritual and those hungry for adventure. Meets at the Charlotte, NC (CLT) airport for group flight to Spain.

Hante Appalachian Trail Trek: Georgia, Session III (grades 7 - 11, $2,900)

The Hante Adventures program began over 40 years ago with a backpacking trip along the Appalachian Trail. Each year, we continue that tradition, hiking various sections of the AT, working together in our small trail group, and living simply in the woods for several weeks. This summer, Hante AT Trek participants will hike through Georgia at the start of the Appalachian Trail. They will journey approximately 100 miles through the wilderness, learning backpacking skills and making strong friends. If you enjoy the simple joys of hiking, being a part of a tight knit group, working towards a goal and connecting with the natural world, this trip is for you. Meets at Eagle’s Nest Camp. *Hante John Muir Trail Trek, Session III (grades 8 - 11, $3,900)

This three-week backpacking journey on the historical John Muir Trail (JMT) in California is the "next step" for many participants who have previously trekked with Hante Adventures, or for teens who are eager to get out into the wilderness. This Hante will journey 100 miles along the JMT through high passes, glacial lakes, and blooming alpine meadows. At the outset of the trip, participants will acclimatize to the high altitude in Yosemite National Park and spend a day climbing on world renowned granite crags. Then, the group will avoid the crowded parks by hiking south on the JMT through the Ansel Adams and John Muir Wilderness Areas. This Hante will nurture relationships with the natural world through exposure to beauty and through regular conversations about outdoor ethics and environmentalism. Living intentionally, fully and simply on this trip will lead to new experiences, skills, friendships and personal awareness. Meets San Francisco, CA (SFO) airport. *These Hantes have an application and questionnaire deadline of November 15, 2013. To receive the questionnaire, please complete and return the Hante application with the $450 Deposit. If the program is not full by November 15th, applications will be taken on an individual basis. Upon selection, 50% of tuition is due and is nonrefundable. On February 1st the remaining balance is due and is nonrefundable. Due to the high cost of running these special Hantes, there are no early bird discounts for (*) select Hantes.

To Apply for Hante: All Hante participants and their parents must complete supplemental questionnaires before the participant can be considered for acceptance on the trip. To receive the questionnaires, please complete and return the application with the $450 deposit.

2014 Added Adventures Heighten your Eagle’s Nest experience and sign up for one of our Added Adventures! Campers travel to a special destination during the middle week of their camp session to broaden their learning experience. Groups are limited to eight campers and two or three instructors. Added Adventures require supplemental questionnaires from the parent and the camper prior to acceptance. Supplemental questionnaires will be sent to you after we receive the initial Camp application form and $450 deposit.

Both the application and questionnaire have a deadline of November 15th. If the program is not full after November 15th, applications will be taken on an individual basis.

Appalachian Adventure: Climb, Camp, & Raft, Session I (Grades 6 - 8, $2,940) Start your summer at Eagle's Nest Camp, enjoying all your favorite traditional summer camp activities. Then, join up with your small Added Adventure group and spend five days backpacking, rock climbing and exploring the playground of the Southern Appalachians.

Huck Finn Added Adventure, Session II (Grades 5 and 6, $3,990) Have you ever dreamed of floating down a mighty river on a tiny self-built raft and experiencing Huck's great adventure? On this adventure, campers venture into Mark Twain’s novel as Jim, the Duke and Huck and float down the French Broad River navigating by the river banks and stars. Participants prepare rafts and learn from communities established on the river.

Sea Islands Added Adventure, Session III (Grades 6 - 8, $3,990) Campers start with the traditional Eagle's Nest Camp experience, then head to the Sea Islands - a chain of tidal and barrier islands off the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia - for a week of camping, exploring, and learning about the diverse flora, fauna, and cultures found on the coast.

Junior Counselor Program Junior Counselors (JCs) are rising high school juniors and seniors who are interested in learning about being counselors.

Twelve JCs are chosen for each camp session – six boys and six girls – to help the counselors supervise campers. While JCs are still considered campers and are expected to follow the rules set forth for campers, they are given extra responsibilities and participate in leadership classes.

The Junior Counselor application and questionnaire deadline is October 15, 2013. Complete and return the $450 deposit along with the initial JC application form. We will then send campers and parents the JC and parent questionnaires, which must be completed and returned by October 15th. Applicants are able to apply to be a JC for various session lengths. Upon selection, 50% of tuition is due and is nonrefundable. On February 1st the remaining balance is due and is nonrefundable. Selection for Junior Counselor positions can be competitive given the limited number of spaces available.

Please encourage your child to participate in a Hante before applying to be a JC, as Hante and Outdoor Academy alumni have a better chance of being selected.

Please see Page 2 for registration procedures. Grades refer to the grade finished prior to the summer of 2014.

Eagle’s Nest Camp Representatives Camp Representatives are parents who have sent their children to Camp and/or Hante in the past and have agreed to serve as “ambassadors” from their local areas. They are available to speak with you about Eagle’s Nest and answer questions you may have. They also put together parties, during which an Eagle’s Nest administrator will give a presentation about Eagle’s Nest and answer questions for prospective participants. This is a great opportunity to meet local Eagle’s Nest families as well as other families interested in ENC and Hante Adventures. Upcoming camp parties are posted on our website. Please call our office to locate a camp representative in your area. If you are interested in becoming a representative, please call us or email us at info@enf.org.

Membership Eagle’s Nest Camp is a private, independent, nonprofit camp within Eagle’s Nest Foundation. The membership of Eagle’s Nest is a community of campers, parents, and friends. Eagle’s Nest is an equal opportunity recreational / educational provider that does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disabling condition or sexual orientation. We include people of all abilities on an individual basis with regard to our wilderness programs in rugged terrain. Our program does not repeat itself over the summer. We offer a variety of session lengths to help accommodate family needs. Each session length has benefits, and in each we work to enable our campers to participate in the full program of camper selected activities to develop skills and friendships essential to his or her individual growth.

Eagle’s Nest Camp Information for Parents

Our Staff Eagle’s Nest Camp was founded by educators interested in the development and education of the Whole Child. In keeping with the principles upon which Eagle’s Nest was founded, our current staff members do an outstanding job of caring for, nurturing, and educating our campers. We take great pride in the quality of the camp counselors who work at Eagle’s Nest. They are some of the most creative, hard working and kind people we know! Our counselors are also a lot of fun, and serve as exceptional role models for our campers. In keeping with the fundamental idea of education for the Whole Child, a large percentage of our summer staff members are in school studying education or have already established themselves as educators. Many are also long time campers who have grown up at Eagle’s Nest and are eager to share Camp with the next generation. Most importantly, our counselors have a deep love for working with young people and making the world a better place.
