KIDS LOVE CAMP
EBERHART!
Sending your kids to Camp EB gives them the opportunity to learn and grow
in an extraordinary environment. The skills learned during their
time at camp will be used throughout their lives and they will never forget
the time they spend here. We hear it from campers old and new, there
is no place like Camp Eberhart in all the world.
What started
in 1909 with a boy's dream and
a small group of eager young men who pitched their tents on the shores
of Corey Lake has thrived and held sacred their traditions so that they
survive nearly 100 years later.
Summer campers - depending on their age,
experience and interest - can participate our week-long Traditional Resident
Camp, Three-Day Resident Camp, Counselor-In-Training (CIT) Camp, a four-week
program for young adults and our very popular Equestrian Camping programs.
TRADITIONAL
RESIDENT CAMP
Our traditional sleepover camp includes activities like swimming, archery,
hiking, astronomy, crafts and cabin group adventures, plus the options
to pursue special skill classes like waterskiing and horseback riding.
Traditional campers are divided by age into their cabins. Campers choose
activities that interest them and spend
time learning about and becoming proficient in them. Typically,
campers continue to up their skill levels each summer. In addition, each
cabin has a few of its own special events and programs. All cabins share
in the excitement of our traditional camping program.
THREE-DAY RESIDENT CAMP
A short-term exposure to Resident Camp for the first-time camper (ages 7-10).
Campers attend camp beginning with our regular Sunday registration through
Wednesday evening. Program participation will consist of regular camp activities
and specialty programs available at the full week price. Campers will be
housed with children their own age and the cabin groups will have a mixture
of three-day participants and regular campers. Campers who are enjoying
their stay and wish to finish out the entire week can do so (a small
additional fee is necessary).
COUNSELOR-IN-TRAINING
CAMP
(Completion of sophomore year of high school is required)
This special three-week program is designed to help young adults develop
skills needed to become effective leaders and potential summer camp staff
members. CITs are under the direction of the camp's Leadership Development
Director and senior cabin leaders, receiving training in working with children
and learning program activity skills. CITs gain practical experience by
assisting staff with camp activities and programs. Campers wishing to attend
should complete an application for acceptance into the program.
EQUESTRIAN
CAMP
The Equestrian Program is an integral part of life at Camp Eberhart. Two
special horseback riding programs are offered: Horseback
Riding (Ages 9-16): This program is offered to boys and girls of any
riding skill level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) who are registered
in our Traditional Resident Camp. Participants in this program spend 90
minutes a day at the camp stables enjoying riding lessons, trail rides
and learning about horses.
Horsemasters
(Ages 10-16): This is an advanced-level program for those boys and girls
who love horses so much that they want to spend most of their time at
the stables. They enjoy 3 hours a day of riding lessons, trail rides and
the opportunity to feed, groom and saddle their own mounts. This program
is highlighted by a weekly Saturday morning horse show. Participants in
this program must already be able to ride proficiently at a walk and trot.
ASTROCAMP
AstroCamp
is one of this NATION'S premier programs for young campers.
The unique AstroCamp program is designed for boys and girls ages 10 and
up. The mind of a 10-year-old is curious and eager to discover. They are
ready to begin the great adventure of exploring the universe with the
endurance to stay up after dark, stargazing and telescoping. 10 is a great
AGE to start, and ASTRO Camp is the best place to start this subject learning!
