As summer approaches we are growing more and more excited about welcoming campers to Eagle’s Nest! We are eager to provide an opportunity for children to get outside, be with friends, relax and have fun! To do so, it’s important that we work hard to keep our participants, staff and our community healthy.
We are also excited to welcome families onto campus from drop off and pick up. Families will be able to take their camper to their cabin and meet the counselor on opening day, and will be able to tour campus, meet camp friends and talk with counselors on closing day. Please see information below for arrival times.
As we get closer to the start of camp, we will continue to evaluate best practices for risk mitigation from COVID-19. If COVID-19 threat levels increase, we may need to change our current COVID-19 related policies and procedures for the Summer of 2023. Below are our preliminary plans related to mitigating COVID-19 this summer:
Throughout the last two years we have worked diligently to create plans that are in line with guidance and recommendations from the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the American Camp Association (ACA), and the Transylvania County Health Department. As we have all learned since the pandemic started, situations continually change and guidance is fluid. As such, our procedures are also tentative and subject to change.
For the summer of 2023, we are highly encouraging participants to be fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19 as recommended by the CDC based on the participant’s age.
Participants will be required to take an at-home, over-the-counter rapid antigen COVID-19 test 48 hours prior to the Opening Day of their session. Families will upload a photo of the negative test result to a CampDoc form that will be available on CampDoc 48 hours prior to the session. On Opening Day, all participants will also be tested by our staff with a rapid antigen COVID-19 test. Participants who test positive on Opening Day, or within 48 hours of Opening Day, will not be permitted to stay at camp. Our camp Director will work with these families to make a plan.
We recommend that families consult with your medical provider if your child or a member of your household is at a higher risk for COVID-19 complications in order to assess the risk of attending camp. Families who are not comfortable with the increased risk of contracting COVID-19 should not attend camp this summer.

The following are our plans for COVID-19 mitigation for the summer of 2023.
These steps are designed to reduce the risk of contracting COVID-19 while at Eagle’s Nest Camp and Hante Adventures. These policies and practices are intended to work in concert with our normal policies and practices related to cleaning, health, medical concerns, and infectious disease.
