About Camp Eagle Wing
Eagle Wing is a traditional summer camp for boys and girls.
* Our 150 acre camp is located on Gardner Lake in Marion Township, Maine.
* Each summer our 120 campers and 35 staff members come to us from all over the country
* Session offerings range from 3 to 6 weeks.
Camp Eagle Wing's 150 acre campus and over 3000' feet of frontage on Gardner Lake provide campers with a wide variety of activity choices, both on land and in the water. Gardner Lake, at seven miles long and a mile wide, is perfect for all of our water activities. Kayakers and canoers can enjoy long paddles, sailing can accommodate both the beginner in our small cove, and the expert skipper who needs more experience out on the open lake. Our woods offer opportunities for hiking, trail building, and overnight adventures right at camp. The buildings, cabins, and fields at camp are beautifully maintained with most buildings having views of the lake. As private as our campus is, Camp Eagle Wing is located 15 minutes from Machias, and 20 minutes from Downeast Medical Center. The Bangor Airport is less than 2 hours away and the Portland Jetport is 3 ½ hours away.
One of the things that truly separates us from other camps is that most of our staff were former campers, many since they were six years old. We know them and they know camp. We know their families, their skill sets, and strengths. We have never had to use a hiring agency to hire staff. This longevity allows you to trust us with your children. We have a 3:1 staff/ camper ratio and 94% of our staff are over 19 yrs. old. As well, over 90% of our staff are CPR/ First Aid and Lifeguard certified
At Camp Eagle Wing, we aim to grow boys to… Gentlemen, and girls to…Ladies. And, we believe that a Lady and a Gentleman possess a specific set of virtues: Love, Selflessness, Temperance, Chasteness, Compassion, and Self-Control. We do not conduct classes in these virtues or instruct children in morality (the non-denominational chapel excepted). The camp environment naturally, and yet intentionally, encourages boys and girls to mature, which may account for the numerous parents who report, 'I sent up a boy. You sent me home a young man. I sent up a girl, I now have a young woman. Thank you.' It is our hope and intention that we can be an ally for parents as they shepherd their children through this process of growing up.
