Overview

Mission

Camp eagle (the "camp") was incorporated on march 8, 1999, under the Texas non-profit corporation act; organized exclusively for christian religious purposes, and more specifically the advancement of religion and operation of a christian church camp. (continued on schedule o)camp eagle has been blessed with one of the state's most beautiful venues, located on the crystal clear headwaters of the nueces river outside of kerrville, deep in the Texas hill country. The camp utilizes this venue to fulfill its mission to "inspire christ-like change through outdoor adventure, authentic relationships, and biblical truth'. Consistent with this mission, camp eagle has served up to 15,600 students annually through various operations including a christian summer camp, as well as a year-round facility.

What it reported doing in 2024

Nestled in the hill country of southwest Texas, camp eagle is an escape that is perfect for the casual camper, outdoor adventurer, or extreme sport enthusiast. While the beauty and unbeatable activities draw many here, the experiences and relationships formed make the greatest impact. The programs are loaded with more than just fun: each is carefully tailored to inspire and transform lives towards a deeper relationship with christ. The curriculum at camp eagle is equally far from ordinary. Tough issues are tackled head-on with straight talk - uncompromisingly biblical, laced with grace, and delivered with humility. (continued on schedule o)the staff of devoted and inspired believers has been specially trained to provide a morally and physically sound infrastructure that is safe, inspiring, and most of all, life changing. Our mission is to inspire christ-like change through outdoor adventure, authentic relationships, and biblical truth. Our ultimate vision is incorporated fully into our mission: we exist to inspire christ-like change through outdoor adventure, authentic relationships and biblical truth...to change the world.
