Welcome to Camp Eagle Wing, a resident camp in the woods of Marion Township Maine. We offer campers from 10-15 years old a traditional camp experience, which includes a wide range of sports, crafts, activities, and special events.

The Camp Eagle Wing Mission

For more than thirty years, at Camp Eagle Feather, and now at Camp Eagle Wing, our mission has been best described as helping parents teach their sons and daughters to become Gentlemen and Ladies.  What is a Lady or a Gentleman?

To be a Lady or a Gentleman is to possess a particular set of virtues:  Honesty, Compassion, Selflessness, Chasteness, Temperance, and Love.  These have been chosen as the core virtues because even when misapplied they tend to yield goodness, or at least do no harm.

Many other attributes that we consider to be virtues are only virtues when correctly applied.  For instance, courage braces both the barbarian as he pillages, and the patriot who is defending his home and family.  Perseverance enables both the policeman and the thief, and so forth. 

To be applied rightly, these “conditional” virtues require the possession of the “prime” virtue: Wisdom, which is usually acquired over time, at cost, and with the help of those who already possess it.

While the final path to wisdom may be different for each of us, the starting point is common to all.  We begin by learning, acquiring and putting into habitual use the core virtues.

Thus, the Mission of Camp Eagle Wing is to assist your sons and daughters to learn, acquire and put into habitual practice, those Virtues that define a Lady and a Gentleman.
