Campers work together to see which line can empty their bucket of water and fill the one 15ft away by squeezing the contents of the yellow sponge into it …

Peyton started going to Camp Eagle Rock when she was five and still considers it to be the best summer camp ever. Talk about a great testimonial!
With 10 staff members and 60 kids, the camp is as full as it can be, with a growing waiting list. Camp Eagle Rock satisfies both children and parents, for it runs from 8:30am-5:30pm to accommodate work schedules and keeps kids social, supervised, and entertained.
They do a van trip once a week (last week was Roche Harbor) as well as a field trip (last one was the San Juan Fitness Center Pool) to provide variety and a chance to see more of the island.
Diana, the main coordinator, describes Camp Eagle Rock as “much more than just daycare.” A highlight of many participants summers, kids learn new skills like basic cooking, play sports (their favorite is dodgeball), do arts & crafts, and have all sorts of fun in the sunshine.
One thing that’s a bit different this year than previous ones is the makeup of the campers. Although the camp is open to K-6 graders, half the participants are rising first and second graders.
