Restore Yourself / Restore Eagle Island
A brand new event at Eagle Island is being planned to take place August 22 - 25. The event is for adults only, male and female,
ages 18 or older. All funds raised, beyond the cost of the event,
will be used to restore Eagle Island’s architectural treasures and
to help support camp programs. A portion of the cost to participate
may be tax-deductible. Ideas being discussed include a Great
Camp Day and an Eagle Island Camp Traditions Day. Yoga and
meditation classes will be added to the usual camp activities.
If you would like to volunteer to help with this exciting new
event, please contact Janne Sahady at jsahady@earthlink.net or
