You may pick up your campers between 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. each afternoon. If somebody other than you (the parent who registered the child for camp) wishes to pick up your camper, please log in to your online registration account and complete the Pick up Authorization section found under ‘Manage Registrations’.
Don’t forget your photo ID for pick up! To ensure each camper’s safety we will check photo IDs to make sure it matches one of the names on the pick-up authorization form. We will check these every day.

You may request a friend for your camper when you register them for camp. Eagle Lake will strive to accommodate these requests but cannot guarantee them due age and gender grouping considerations. These assignments are made one week prior to camp arrival. Please be sure to submit a friend request online from your account under Manage Registrations.
Our daughter couldn't believe the challenges that were thrown at her during the two week camp. She smiles when she tells us stories about all the adventures. Thank you for challenging our daughter! We've noticed a positive change in her personality, mood and outlook on life. —Caroline, CO
