Eagle Lake Camps - Day Camp @ Glen Eyrie

As a long time patron of Camp Eagle Lake Glen Eyrie, it’s sad to read all these negative reviews. Whoever is in control of this camp should hire me to bring it back to a 5 star status. Reach out if you’re interested!

I paid for my grandson to go to Eagle Lake camping experience. it was so disappointed my spiritual growth started with a navigator 2:7 program and I was under the false impression that this would teach him personal discipleship and spiritual formation practices and how to spend time with God. He did not get any mentorship in this. Just traditional Bible lessons.

PARENTS-- This is your warning.! This camp is NOT safe. Very poor supervision. The activities are led by poorly trained children (18 years old, but clearly still not of adult maturity). The food is barely edible and far from healthy. Your kids would be better off ANYWHERE else.

Just don't. I went to excursions 3 a couple years ago, and it gets and F on everything. Food was all the wrong colors (burgers were yellow and green), and we ate mostly stuff that you can get for a dollar or less, in either a broken down shed (no joke here) or under a tarp (also not a joke). One night was rice and beans (eaten out of a communal bowl, with no utensils), another was the wacky burgers, and another was a "taco" that would have made a mexican cry. The 14 year olds in charge of cooking (also not a joke) burned the oatmeal so bad it changed state of matter, and they added too much water to the "just add water eggs". Lodging was worse. We slept in a tarp with 4 of the oldest bunk beds you will ever see, and I woke up cold and wet every morning. Activities ain't a different story. Other than rafting, the other activities were all rednecked on site, and got a little interesting. Little training was often given even for activities where injuries are likely to occur (people who had never mountain biked were just shown how to use a brake on a standard bike, then sent onto difficult biking tracks). No one at camp was aged over 25 when I went. No one. Take this as you may. Most of the crew was also paying to be crew, and was under the age of 16. Hygiene was also very bad. Porta potties were the primary bathrooms, and the shower rooms were in terrible shape. My youngest sister forgot her toothbrush, and no one really cared, even after she told the counselors. She went a whole week without brushing her teeth (whilst the only thing they sold at this camp for a reasonable price was insane amounts of sugar and candy). 9/10 people in my group fell ill within a week of camp, and some were sick for weeks after, myself included. Sermons were also pointless and fruitless at times. From a Christian standpoint, it was extremely weak. For anyone who knows even basic theology, it was lacking and there were few takeaways. Jesus loves you, submit your life to him. That's basically it. Long story short, I could go on forever. Unless you want to be sick, wet, cold, and depressed, don't go to this camp. You can get better treatment if you commit a crime, and that doesn't cost $650.

I went to camp this year (2017) as a Crew Camper, and it was fantastic! The leaders were great, campers were great, and the in depth discipleship is fantastic. Now, a few cons, not everyone who goes to Crew is a completely sold out Christian, but that goes for anyplace. The leaders are great, and the reason they leave the tents sometimes is because they have other things to do. The food is alright, but since its cooked largely by relatively inexperienced campers, its not always the best. Sleep is a pain, as we wake up at 5 or 6, but for those who are public schooled it shouldn't be a problem. All in all, if your kid really wants to go out there and serve, this is the perfect way to start. I strongly advise going here
