At Family Camp, parents and their children come to camp together and engage in any or all of the camp’s activities.  Some activity periods are offered for parents, some for children, and others for parents and children.  Activity sign up is held twice a day, giving everyone a chance to sign up for their favorite activity.  Flather is always on the activity menu for parents.  What is Flather?—an opportunity to rest on the beach, lay in the hammock, read under a shady tree, take a nap, etc.

In the evenings evening programs (E.P.s) are held.  The first is after dinner, for everyone, and is almost always an active field activity.  The second evening program is divided.  While our staff run an indoor second activity for the kids, the adults will nightly join together in the dining hall for conversations, led by Chick BeVier and other staff, about the task of parenting in today’s world. 

Mealtime becomes an activity unto itself.  Everyone takes a turn waiting on tables.  Cooking and cleanup are done by our kitchen staff.    Meals are not gourmet but are always ample, tasty and served family style.  Songs, skits, impromptu speeches, awards and mysteries, are always a part of mealtime, so is a chance to think great thoughts and tell tales of the day.

Families are housed together in our modern and comfortable camper cabins. Each of the cabins is divided into two halves, with each half accommodating up to 14 people.  Each half cabin also contains its own bath and shower facilities.  While sheets and pillows are provided, family campers bring their own blankets.  Making ones bed and cleaning up the cabin are also a part of each morning’s activities.  Inspection is held daily for each cabin, with end of the week inspection winners receiving candy bars.

Eagle Wing is a technology free camp.  We ask that cell phones, laptops, radios, music playing devices, etc. be left in the car.  It is our hope that by eliminating these devices, we can protect the camp environment from outside intrusion, so that families may enjoy one another without interruption, or distraction.

Parents needing to contact home, work, etc, are asked to do so discretely. The camp office is open from 9:00 am. to 4:00pm. At times when the office is closed, a recording machine is on and is checked regularly.  Parents are encouraged to list the camp telephone number (207-255-3116) as their emergency number.

There is no smoking at camp and alcohol is not served.
