One Week of Wilderness Summer Camp

One-week camp session at Night Eagle Wilderness Adventures in Wallingford, VT. Valid for the following 2026 sessions: July 5-11, July 19-25, July 26-August 1, or August 9-15. The winning bidder may add a second consecutive week at the regular tuition rate. Located in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains, Night Eagle Wilderness Adventures is a unique primitive, unplugged summer camp where boys ages 10-14 live in tipis and do things that boys did hundreds of years ago. Campers have a chance to live and play in nature, embark on wilderness adventures, learn survival skills, and reconnect with nature in a small tight-knit community. Boys sleep in Lakota-style tipis, help grow and prepare meals together, and learn to live in harmony with themselves, others, and the environment. Campers learn to throw tomahawks and atlatls, use a bows and arrows, skin and tan animal hides, make bison jerky, learn survival skills (fire making with flint and steel or bow drills, plant identification, tracking, camouflage), create all sorts of craft items (birchbark baskets, moccasins, rattles), go on hikes, canoe, swim and play lots of games (Buffalo Robe, Stalk the Chief, Wild Men in the Alders and Slack ‘Em — to name a few)! Through these activities and the slower pace of life in camp, boys naturally develop a deeper respect for the land, an understanding of the interconnection and value of all life, and a sense of personal accomplishment as they learn to live competently in the woods. Through community living and group decision-making, we believe that boys can live and play together in a spirit of cooperation rather than competition. Expires 2026. New families only.
