Camp Eagle Rock Rocks!

A favorite among parents and kids, Camp Eagle Rock is in full swing!
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.
