Many campers and parents ask what a week of camp is like at Eagle Fern. So much happens that it is hard to put it all into words. Accepting personal challenges, building and renewing friendships, and cabin talk are just a few of the things we focus on. Slowing down and changing our pace to observe the beauty of nature and contemplate eternal truths, being encouraged and giving encouragement are all part of a camper's experience here at Eagle Fern. Some things that happen each week are designed entirely to help newcomers get acquainted with our camp. We are located on Eagle Creek and have a nice big swimming hole to wade in, splash in, go kayaking, and hunt crawdads. Swimming is scheduled during specific times when our well-trained lifeguard(s) supervise. Many younger campers enjoy playing in the sand along the waterfront.



We offer "skill sessions" at most camps. These are classes that each camper can choose to participate in that are fun and enhance their experience. Some of the classes offered are crafts, drama, music, sports, skills, Huck Finn raft building, nature walks, expressive dance, and many others.



EFC has an indoor climbing wall on which campers can enjoy during the skills classes or during their daily free time. It is a challenge to climb, traverse, maneuver, and to trust your belayer to descend. The Junior High and High School camps also enjoy tremendous personal challenges and high-flying fun on our Challenge Course. We have five different high ropes elements plus a 400 foot zip line that many campers say is the best one that they have ever been on.
