Summer Camp Spotlight: Camp Eagle

Flexible Day Camps, Overnight Camps, and Job Opportunities for your teen!

March 5, 2023

Camp Eagle, a short drive from Roanoke in Fincastle, offers day camp and overnight camps throughout the summer.  Camp Eagle has been ministering to the Roanoke Valley and surrounding area for more than 40 years through summer camps, retreats, and specialized group events. We desire to use the elements of Christian camping to provide fun and fulfillment for the present, hope for the future, and develop strong, impactful leaders who will turn the world upside down.  


Day Camp- Flexible and Convenient

Come one day, one week, or the whole summer! Camp Eagle's Day Camp includes a different Bible study, swimming every day, creeking, Strong Tower climbing wall, zipline, hikes, field games, hunting grounds, crafts, and so much more! 

Roanoke area campers can be picked up and dropped off at Shenandoah Baptist Church and ride the Camp Eagle bus to camp for the day. Drop off is 7:45 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. Pick up is 4:45-5:30 p.m.



Overnight Camp

Register your camper for what could be the best week of their summer! Overnight camp at CE is a week of activities, Bible study, field games, great food, new friends, team building activities, and tons of time OUTSIDE in nature. We offer Teen Weeks (ages 12- 18) & Junior Weeks (ages 8-12).  Highlights of the week include the weekly Variety Show, Bonfire & Testimony time, & the Skit performed by our summer staff each night.

We provide two staff members per ten-twelve camper groups. Each staff member is carefully selected and interviewed extensively regarding their Christian walk, spiritual growth, attitude of service, and willingness to learn.  All staff submits to a federal background check, are rigorously trained, and are ready to build relationships with the campers.

“Camp Eagle has been such a great program for both of my kids! All of the staff are amazing and very attentive and passionate about making sure the kids have the best week of camp. The kids don’t have time to even miss home as they keep them busy with all kinds of amazing activities. Oh, and the coffee shop and gift store are favorites of both my kids. And the food…top notch!” Carmen C.
