Eagle's Nest Foundation and Camp Inc at 43 Hart Road, Pisgah Forest, North Carolina.

Eagle's Nest is an awesome place to send your kids. They will come back as better people. The summer camp offers a great opportunity for kids of all ages to have a great time in the beautiful southern Appalachian Mountains, while learning self-reliance, independence, how to live and work in community, and how to take good care of our planet. The Outdoor Academy is a semester program for tenth graders that help focuses on the environment and culture of the Southern Appalachians as an outdoor classroom to build new leaders. Eagle's Nest is one of the few, if not the only, camp that is not-for-profit, so it totally focused on it's mission. Check it out.

After attending this camp for years as a teenager, I've been delighted to send my daughter back. The experiences and opportunities to explore the outdoors, learn new skills, and form incredible friendships is like no other. The staff is made up of former campers, friends, relatives, and always a few newcomers; they are an wonderful and eclectic bunch of artists, athletes, musicians, mathematicians, chefs, and anything you could imagine - all ready to help your kid have an amazing summer!
