DO NOT BRING:
Cell phones* There is no cell service available at Camp Eagle. Wi-Fi calling and land line calling is available only to Group Leaders only. *However — We do not prohibit campers from bringing them along, as they come in handy on the ride home for letting parents know where we’re at. However, they’re not to be used while we’re at camp, which presents us with a problem: it’s on you if your phone gets lost, stolen, broken, etc. So long as you’re good with the risk, you are welcome to bring your phone and not use it all week.
Car keys
Walkie-Talkies
Knives, anything sharp, or any type of weapon If one of these shows up at camp the law gets involved. Leave it at home.
Pets – No, not even little cute pets!
