What are the time commitments and dates?

Full Summer: May 30 – August 8

What about our family’s vacation?

As long as you communicate with your Eagle Lake Staff and create a plan for meals while you are gone, we hope you have a great time on your family vacay!

How many staff would we be hosting?

You may host 2-5 staff members. Eagle Lake does not permit staff members to be housed alone all summer.

What times are staff at camp?

Staff will typically leave by 7am and return by 6pm during the week.

What should I cook for them?

Because breakfast is so early, bagels, fruit, yogurt etc. are great! Dinners can be anything you would like.

What are we supposed to do on the weekends?

You are not resonsible for providing any activities or entertainment for staff on weekends, but you are welcome to invite them on a family outing or day trip!

Does Eagle Lake compensate for meals?

Yes! Eagle Lake provides $1,000 for each staff member you host for the summer.

How are staff matched with host homes?

Eagle Lake will place staff with hosts based on host home preferences and will also prioritize homes in closer proximity to camp.

Flying Horse: 1880 Weiskopf Point

Glen Eyrie: 3820 N 30th Street

Before the move in date, we will host a dinner so that all staff and host homes can meet.
