A portion of our participants are awarded Camp/Hante Scholarships called Camperships.
This funding is given with consideration to the family’s need and the child’s desire for a Camp or Hante experience. For any questions about Camperships, please contact our Camp/Hante Registrar, Molly Herrmann by email at molly@enf.org or by phone at 336-761-1040.

Select (*) Hante Adventures also have a 50% non-refundable deposit due upon acceptance into the program. The remaining tuition balance is due February 1st and is non-refundable.

Eagle’s Nest Camp highly recommends the purchase of travel and tuition insurance that provides coverage for cancellation for any reason.  Trip insurance is inexpensive and could save you a great deal of money.  Trip insurance can be purchased via your camper’s profile on CampDoc.com under Protection Plan. Details on the CampDoc Protection Plan.

Should we be unable to open a program or session due to a force majeure event, as outlined in our application form, we will refund tuition monies paid less the non-refundable deposit ($450). Please refer to our application form for further details.
