Visiting Camp

 

Parents are welcome and encouraged to visit camp.

However, during the first week of each session the camp is closed to visitors.  This is to allow campers a chance to settle into camp life. Following the first week, parents are welcome at anytime.  Parents who take their children off camp during a visit are asked to have them back by bedtime. Overnight absences from camp are discouraged.  While visiting, parents may expect a full tour of camp by the best tour guide available, their own child.  We are always happy to meet and talk with parents, but ask that mealtimes are reserved for campers only.

Getting To Camp
By Car:  Camp Eagle Wing is located approximately 8 hrs. from Hartford CT., 6 hours from Boston, 4 hrs. from Portland ME., and 2 hrs. from Bangor ME. Our Physical address is 110 Eagle Rd. Whiting ME., though it is best once arriving in Machias to use the directions found below, and NOT a GPS.

Directions to Camp

 

By Plane:  Though Machias has a small airport that we have had parents fly directly into, there are no commercial flights into the local airport. If you are looking to fly there is a direct flight from Boston to Bar Harbor on Cape Air, and there are indirect flights from Hartford and Boston into Portland or Bangor.

Parent Weekends

Each summer parents are invited to Camp Eagle Wing’s Parent Weekends.

This is a wonderful opportunity to visit your son/ daughter, watch them in action at camp, share a meal or two, and meet other camp parents.

Parents’ Weekends are held on the second weekend of each session, respectively. 

Please consider visiting your camper one of these two weekends.

Things To Do
Down East sightseeing opportunities are ample, though nothing is very touristy. Hiking, bird watching, beachcombing, whale watches, and puffin tours are only minutes away. Close by are golf courses, fresh and saltwater fishing, and guided tours and rentals for sea kayaking and canoeing. Camp Eagle Wing is also less than a two-hour drive to Acadia National Park and St. Andrews, New Brunswick. Campobello National Park in Canada is ½ hr. away. Bring your passports!

 

Quaint Oceanside towns like Lubec, Eastport, and Calais are all under one hour away, and offer ocean sightseeing, shops, and dining.
