“I want to thank you both for the tremendous experience Grey Moon Rising had at Night Eagle. It sounds as though his two week stay was truly extraordinary. He regaled us last night with so many stories and thoughts about the experiences he had and about the other campers and counselors. Let us know if you should ever need recommendations or testimonials - we'll be happy to provide them!”

“I just wanted to send a note of thanks to you both for the two weeks Raven Mist spent at Night Eagle. He had a really great time and a memorable experience. I can tell you that when my wife and I picked him up at the end of camp, starting from our walk back to our car in the pouring rain he did not stop talking about everything that he had done at camp for an hour. Neither of us could get a word in of our own and were amazed at what we were hearing. He had nothing but great things to say about ALL of your counselors.”

- N. Danenbaum (NJ)

“Thank you so much, Bruce and Kelly! Questing Squirrel is still talking about Night Eagle. It has changed a place deep inside him. He especially enjoyed the crafts and making popcorn in the tipi, and has happily shared many of the skills he learned with me. Since I got to spend a night in camp (the highlight of my summer), I can say that the leadership demonstrated by both Bruce and the staff was of very high quality.”

“I wanted to tell you that Drum Runner had a great time at camp. Besides having fun, he was deeply moved by the spiritual and personal challenges that he encountered. Thank you so much!”

- D. Cordner (NY)

“Many many thanks for the great experience that Sky Lynx had this summer at Night Eagle. He has always had a very deep vision of his world, but now I feel that it comes from a more mature place, and that he is calmer and even more settled and content with himself. Hard to describe. Anyway, it is all good!”

“Well, Badger Smiles has arrived home. For about an hour he told us all about his wonderful summer in Vermont. We are all so proud of him and so happy that he was able to enjoy himself in a beautiful outdoor atmosphere. All the expectations we had for the summer were met and then some. He has grown up so much and feels sooo much better about himself and everything he does. He’s already talking about next year.”

- S. Hoffman (NJ)

“Morning Deer seems different (positively) in small subtle ways. More self-confident and just overall more comfortable in his own skin. He shares stories and events that clearly made an impact on him. I’d have to say the biggest impact on him was Morning Reflection - he practices this daily at home- and has gotten me to do the same.”

- M. Price (VT)

“Elliott had a great time! He wants to both return and stay longer. His experience lingers in his attitude toward nature and his point of view. He learned lots and enjoyed camp in a deep way. The inherent spirituality of Night Eagle resonated with Elliott.”

-M. Siegrest-Jones (VT)

“We want to extend a very big thank you to you for Night Eagle and the wonderful experiences Loon Magic had in his two weeks there. A day does not go by without some discussion of camp. We feel as though we know all the campers and counselors (and by both names). It all made quite an imprint on Noah. We continue bead weaving, backpacking, and our studies have taken a decided turn toward American Indian history as Night Eagle has sparked Loon Magic’s interest and provided a distinct reference point for what is sure to be an important point of some homeschool curriculum this year.

“And there are all the 'intangibles' which continue to reveal themselves over time. Loon Magic speaks fondly of all the counselors and campers. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting day and the opportunity to get a greater sense of the place and people which you have so thoughtfully brought together. Thank you again, it was wonderful for Noah to be part of it all.

“We enjoyed meeting you (and Tripp and Wyatt!) and admire all of your efforts! Continued best wishes to you and Night Eagle!”

- J. Simms-Levy (NY)

“We asked Danny what he seemed to get most from camp. He said he liked nature best. But in addition to that, it was the intimate connection with fellow campers which the camp experience fosters, which I think was most valuable. No where else, beyond his nuclear family, does he have this opportunity to connect so personally to peers. It’s a great place to build and practice relationship skills! It was especially nice that he experienced a 'different culture' - non-technology, less worldly way of living. We see a child who is more confident in who he is. Thank you!”

- M. Haessig (NJ)

“It was really fun to arrive at camp and see Eliot so happy - it is really neat to find just the right thing for your kid - thanks again.”

- L. Fitch (MA)

“Spirit Brother loved Night Eagle. He very much wants to return next year. Three weeks was barely enough to experience everything he wanted to. He came home a gentler spirit: gentler toward others, toward the world, toward the environment and toward himself. ”

- L. Peterson (VT)

“Spring Otter loved Night Eagle and wants to go back next year for six weeks! He seemed a changed boy, looking more confident as if he had found himself. He seemed to be in his element running around in a breech clout, playing Indian games, making crafts and totally integrated with nature.”

- J. Holland (VT)

“My boys had a terrific 'Indian' Summer ... every boy should be immersed in nature with ones to guide them. Raccoon Seeks The Way returned to his mother a kinder, gentler young man and New Moon Shines appears rather pleased with himself and is walking more confidently. They both want to return next year! Thank you for what you all did this summer and thank you to all the wonderful boys that befriended my children.”
