Description

At Eagle Lake, we value good stewardship of our resources and property. We continually evaluate our programming not only for relevancy but for cost-efficiency. This ensures that you are getting the most value for the least amount of money. Eagle Lake also promotes environmental responsibility through our adherence to “Leave no Trace” principles. It is our desire to protect the environment for future generations.

Nothing is more important to us than the safety of your child. We hire the best college students in the country and thoroughly train and develop them. Constant evaluation of programs and staff ensure the safest experience for your child. We count it an honor that you would entrust your child to us during the summer.

No camper’s time at Eagle Lake would be complete without fun. Whether this means a ride on the zipline, time with friends and their counselor, or just engaging with the outdoors, Eagle Lake’s 330 acres provide an amazing backdrop to experience the beauty and fun of God’s creation.

Dawson Trotman, founder of The Navigators, got his start in the ministry working with junior high boys. Daws always had a heart for boys and continuously sought new ways to minister to them. In 1953, The Navigators purchased Glen Eyrie in Colorado Springs, and moved its headquarters there. The 330-acre Eagle Lake property was included in the purchase, on the condition that it be used for youth work. In 1957, Lorne Sanny, Trotman's successor, asked Cec Davidson of the Glen Gang to get something started up at the property. Cec and four other men acquired some old marine tents and took 13 local boys camping for a week. This was the beginning of Eagle Lake Camp. Since then, second and third generations of campers from all 50 states and dozens of foreign countries have attended Eagle Lake. The great outdoors, combined with the fun and energy of being with others their age doing things they may have never done before, is an atmosphere kids of all ages want and need. At Eagle Lake, we make every effort to understand and fulfill this desire...and bring the person of Jesus Christ into their lives as well.
