Featured Camp: Camp Hawkeye

March 5, 2020


Camp Hawkeye is the un-traditional sleepaway camp for ALL HUMANS ages 7 - 16 with a commitment to creating a diverse community. With 60 campers and 25 staff Hawkeye is perfect for first time campers of any age. Hawkeye includes campers and staff from a variety of social, ethnic, economic, religious, and geographic backgrounds. Hawkeye is different; with the feel of family and the healthy experience of the outdoors, Camp Hawkeye uses the joy and fun of camp to break down social and cultural prejudices, misconceptions and barriers.

The Hawkeye program is an intentional combination of regular and special programming. It includes small group and individualized instruction in areas such as Swimming, Archery, and Woodworking in addition to all-camp big idea activities that last from one hour to all day. Hiking and swimming are required and active positive participation in all activities is too. Ours is not a sitting around, hanging out, type of camp. Though there are scheduled down times our goals include getting your son/daughter involved.

The activities at Hawkeye are the vehicle for teaching the big important skills. Life skills; a toolbox for success in school, at work, and socially. Growth mindset, increased self-confidence, positive outlook, teamwork, improved communication, leadership, acceptance of differences, and to value diversity.

Sessions for campers 7-16 range from 2 to 8 weeks in duration:

  • 2 Weeks - $2,300.  Start dates: June 28, July 12, July 26, August 9
  • 4 Weeks - $4,000.  Start dates: June 28, July 26
  • 6 Weeks - $5,800.  Start dates: June 28, July 12
  • 8 Weeks - $7,000.  Start date: June 28

The Camp Hawkeye Leadership Development Program is a progressive two-year experience. It delivers training and experience, direction and mentoring, as well as opportunities for application of leadership. The first year is a 4 or 8 week experience as part of the Counselor in Training program (CiT), and the second year a 5 week experience as a member of the Junior Counselor group (JC).

The two-year program bridges the transition from camper to staff member and provides the foundational elements to each participant's growth into a great counselor. The changing expectations from camper to staff, from "kid" to "adult" in the context of our camp community can be challenging. The guidance and mentoring provided by the CiT Coordinator and subsequently the JC Supervisor support a positive and productive transition.
