About Eagle's Nest Foundation

Eagle’s Nest Camp (ENC), a unique, experiential, residential camp program for young people ages 6 to 17. Our summer camp, located near Brevard, North Carolina, opened in 1927 and chartered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1950. In 1973 Hante Adventures was launched within the Camp program providing opportunities for teens to deepen their experience with outdoor and cultural immersion journeys across the country and abroad. In 1994 Eagle’s Nest Camp became one of two programs under the umbrella of Eagle’s Nest Foundation, sharing a campus and resources with our residential semester school, The Outdoor Academy. All programs at Eagle’s Nest are oriented to a child’s healthy growth and development between the ages of 6 to 17. In fulfillment of Eagle’s Nest Foundation’s mission, ENC promotes personal responsibility, self-knowledge, the betterment of human character, and a deep connection to the natural world.
