BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Night Eagle is a unique primitive summer camp for boys. At Night Eagle, we live in tipis and do things that boys did hundreds of years ago - learn survival skills (fire making with flint & steel or bow drills, plant identification, tracking), create lots of craft items (birchbark baskets, moccasins), go on hikes, canoe, swim, and play lots of games (Buffalo Robe, Stalk the Chief and Slack 'Em to name a few)!

CAMP LOCATION: We are located in Vermont on 145 forested acres, which is completely surrounded by 365,000 acres of the Green Mountain National Forest. We are 2 1/2 hours from Hartford, three hours from Boston, and five hours from New York.
CAMP FACILITIES: 10 tipis, 2 lakes for swimming and canoeing, a small garden, a semi-permanent open air structure for gatherings, and a food shelter complete with solar power.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Night Eagle has a decentralized program consisting of over 200 possible activities. On a daily basis after breakfast and again after rest hour, boys select the activities they want to participate in. Our activities tend to spring from the environment and teach boys to rely on their own ingenuity. Through these activities and the slower pace of life in camp, boys naturally develop a deeper respect for the land and an authentic sense of personal accomplishment as they learn to live competently in the woods.
Night Eagle is a different kind of camp based on mutual responsibility and cooperation. Through community living and group decision making, boys learn to live and play together in a spirit of cooperation rather than competition.
Night Eagle typically receives scores in the mid to upper 90s from the state health inspector, and has won the Markel Safety Award four years in a row!
