Insurance
Eagle's Nest requires all campers to be covered by medical/health insurance while attending Camp or Hante programs. We also encourage families to look into travel/tuition insurance. Many insurance companies offer low-cost, short term or temporary insurance policies for students and summer campers. For more information, please contact your insurance agent or try one of the companies listed on our Parents Resources page.

However, if there is a serious accident or illness during this time period, one-half of the unused tuition may be refunded. Further consideration of refunds is made at the discretion of the trustees, upon written request. Eagle's Nest Camp highly recommends the purchase of travel/tuition insurance. Many companies offer a low-cost travel/tuition insurance for summer campers; one we have referred camp families to in the past is Assurance Solutions, Inc.

Financial Aid
A limited portion of our camper population receives some sort of financial aid, often in the form of tuition scholarships called Camperships. This funding is giving in light of economic status, family need, the child’s need for camp or Hante, and the potential participant's desire to attend. All requests for financial assistance should be made to the camp. To make a request for financial assistance (Campership), please complete the following by February 25th:
Eagle’s Nest Camp
P.O. Box 5127
Winston-Salem, NC 27113-5127
While financial aid applications submitted before the February 25 deadline will receive first priority, we continue to review all incoming applications for financial aid.
Note: Deposit is refundable if scholarship is not granted or insufficient scholarship is granted.
