Eagle Island is a wonderful place — a summer camp on an island in the middle of the Adirondacks — that has been inspiring girls and young women for nearly a century. Our campers learn confidence, community, and independence through classic camp adventures like sailing, canoeing, swimming, singing, and exploring the natural world. We are a nonprofit camp serving girls+ for overnight camp and all genders for our one week of day camp.
We’re loud, joyful, and hands-on; a community built on belonging, friendship, and trying new things.
For nearly 100 years, generations of girls and women have grown up on this island on Upper Saranac Lake — sailing, swimming, and finding confidence in themselves and each other. When the camp was nearly lost a decade ago, alumni and volunteers came together, raised the funds, and brought it back to life. That same spirit of can-do energy, confidence, and collaboration drives everything we do today.
