Overview
Unleashing the primal instincts of children and teens, Twin Eagles Summer Camps offers an immersive experience in the heart of nature. The focus here is on forging a strong bond between the campers and the natural world, developing a robust community, and nurturing authentic self-awareness. These camps have been transforming young lives since 2005, with day and overnight camps for different age groups in multiple locations.
Twin Eagles Summer Camps operates on the belief that a real connection with nature is integral to the wholesome development of a child. Here, teens rediscover the joy of simple, earthy pleasures – hearing the call of the wild, feeling the mud under their feet, admiring wildflowers, and letting the music of mountain streams calm their senses.
The camps offer a blend of real-world challenges and earth-based skills that help build resilience. As the journey unfolds, the learning community of teens and instructors meld into a close-knit family. The natural curiosity of children is nurtured into a passion for learning, and love for the earth is kindled within them.
For the more adventurous, a series of Day Camps themed around Wilderness Survival to Nature Ninja is available. There are also unique opportunities to learn wilderness skills such as building shelters, cooking, weaving baskets, and making stone tools.
Community living at these camps helps teens understand the interconnectedness of life. They learn tangible and intangible skills such as teamwork, patience, respect, and problem-solving. The camp offers unforgettable experiences, enduring friendships, and a new perspective on life and earth.
Stepping beyond the usual, Twin Eagles also offers intensive activities like nighttime scout games, group wilderness survival camp outs, action archery games, and for the older and more mature teens, wilderness survival solos. These activities serve as a test and initiation for older teens, offering them a deeper connection with the wilderness and planting seeds of self-belief and genuine competence.
