Review for Eagles Nest Foundation Incorporated, Pisgah Forest, NC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

A review isn't necessary to praise Eagle's Nest Camp, instead a thank-you is what it deserves. The community of Eagle's Nest is what kept me coming back year after year for twelve years now. It's addictive in the best way possible. To put into words the gratitude for the experiences and the people that I've encountered on the beautiful campus is unfortunately a task I will never deem finished. Fear of failure, exclusiveness, boredom and monotony simply do not exist in this place. Adults and children alike are constantly cultivating laughter, friendships and their identity. A strong sense of tradition instills pride in all and drives them to continue those traditions year after year. Not only are children developing skills they rarely have a chance to obtain, they are also developing the skills necessary for life that are often overlooked. Relating to people, being nice, respecting the environment, laughing at yourself, working hard to achieve an advancement, screaming until all of the air has escaped your lungs, dancing at the square dance, singing Beatles songs after lunch everyday. Facing each day realizing its potential and going to sleep at night knowing you fulfilled it. By experiencing and learning all of these things, I know what I should expect out of life, and never to settle for less. So thank you Eagle's Nest. Not for shaping me, but for giving me the room to shape myself.
