What does it mean to be a counselor at Camp Eagle Wing?  For most it is the culmination of a decade of being a camper at Eagle Feather, Eagle Wing and also a student at The School of Swimming.

For Eagle Wing parents wishing to look ahead and see the profile of tomorrow’s counselors, look across the dining table at your own son or daughter.  Not all become counselors, but for those who do, the experience may well provide some of the most service laden and educationally rigorous years of their lives. The rigor of the social, moral and leadership training they receive is theirs for life, just as the service they render becomes equally permanent for their campers.

For thirty five years, the graduates of The School of Swimming, Camp Eagle Feather and Eagle Wing have been charged with the task of delivering The Eagle Feather/ Eagle Wing mission: to assist our campers to become Ladies and Gentlemen. Counselors are given the means, training and the authority that must accompany ‘actual’ responsibility. They are burdened by the responsibility to carry out this mission with the same diligence as their forbearers. Then they are held accountable for the use to which they put these gifts.

Sadly, there are few times in a person’s life when it is possible to do this kind of work, receive this kind of training, and to contribute in such a direct and positive way to the betterment of one’s fellows.   

If you have the desire to serve in such a way, call us. If you are already doing so...well done!
