As an introduction to resident (overnight) camp, campers may elect to join the Bobcat Program.  Bobcats begin their two-week camp session with a week at our day camp, Eagle Feather, in Rocky Hill, CT.  Following a week of getting to know their fellow campers and staff, the Bobcats, and their counselor travel to Eagle Wing , in Maine, for their second week. 

At Eagle Wing, the Bobcats stay in their own cabin with their fellow Bobcats and counselor who have traveled with them. They are joined by an Eagle Wing counselor who serves as their second bunk counselor.

Once at  Eagle Wing, Bobcats become part of the camp community and participate in all camp activities along with the Eagle Wing campers and staff.

Transportation to and from Maine is included in the Bobcat tuition. The bus/van leaves and returns to the Eagle Feather/School of Swimming parking lot in Rocky Hill.

Please note, the Bobcat Program is an introductory experience to resident camp, not a replacement.  Children may attend Eagle Wing as a Bobcat, ONLY ONCE.

Following their Bobcat session, it is our hope that campers will, in the following season, choose to become a regular Eagle Wing camper.

Day camp is to resident camp, what high school is to college. For some, it is preparatory to a course of rigorous social, moral and physical education that is  difficult to duplicate in other ways or places.  For more information regarding the Eagle Wing Philosophy, please see the Philosophy section on the Eagle Wing home page.
