Our summer team members work together to make our camps memorable, fun, safe, and growing experiences for the kids that come to Eagle Village. Campers primarily have severe emotional imparments, experienced significant trauma, and spent time in foster care, or have been adopted. Our summer camps serve as early intervention, skill builders, and additional support for kids that would struggle in a traditional camp setting. We have all the fun of a regular camp like tackling the climbing wall or high ropes course, swimming, campfires, and hiking through the woods; but we also offer kids extra help working through their emotions, taking responsibility, and developing healthy relationships with others.

Summer team members are responsible for constant supervision of campers, helping with activities, cheering kids on, hosting visitors, occasional supervision in the resident program, being an example of how to respect self and others, and maintaining the firm but loving discipline taught during training.

Cabin Leaders stay in cabins with their campers (ages 7-17), leading camp experiences on-site.

Wilderness Trip Leaders lead multiple-overnight backpacking trips on the Manistee River and North Country Trail.

Health Officers supervise the administration of medications and first aid, and provide administrative support to the camp team.

We frequently work with team members and their universities to achieve internship or field placement credit during the summer season. Interns come from a variety of programs including: Social Work, Criminal Justice, Education, Family Studies, Youth Ministry, Therapeutic Recreation, Psychology, Hotel/Hospitality Management, Non-profit and Business Management, Communications, etc.
