Eagle's Nest is tucked away inside 180 wooded acres in Western North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. In the heart of the lush Southern Appalachians, the campus overlooks the Little River Valley in the Pisgah Forest area.

Activities are driven by the landscape. A fresh, clean lake, green meadows, gardens, orchards, hilltops, trails, forests, streams, rivers and mountains provide campers with unlimited recreation opportunities. Our campus is also home to open-air buildings, horse stables and a riding ring, athletic fields, tennis courts, a canoe dock, theaters and cabins.

Campers stay in 12 spacious, breezy cabins and are placed with other Nesters based on grade and gender. All cabins have indoor plumbing and hot water. The cabin groups are led by caring counselors, and campers get to know their cabinmates well during evening hours, rest periods, morning cleanups and cabin outings.

We believe that healthy foods are a cornerstone to a healthy lifestyle. Campers dine on meals prepared with fresh meats and dairy products, and natural and organically grown produce such as garden-fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, unrefined sugar, honey and olive oil. All meals are wholesome, low in sodium and fat, and desserts are served in moderation.

All campers participate in baking bread, preparing meals and composting. Vegetarian, vegan and other special diets are available upon request at each meal.

Care packages may be sent to campers. We encourage you to send caring things such as cards, games, books, stationary, etc., but we ask that you do not send food, gum, candy or even "health food".

When a child receives a package at Camp, he or she will open it with her counselor. Food or sweets, in spite of the sweet thoughts with which they were sent, cannot be given to the camper. We can give you information for a number of companies who put together and mail care package for campers.

Suggested list of items:

Old, sturdy and inexpensive clothes – laundry is done on weekly basis.

One footlocker packed with a complete inventory list of all campers’ possessions taped to inside of the top.

We also suggest one sleeping bag in a stuff sack. However, the sleeping bag does not replace sheets and blankets. Campers may also bring a baseball glove, tennis racquet, camera and film, riding boots, musical instruments, costumes, books and stationery.
