Camp Eagle Hill is a summer camp in New York State

History

Camp Eagle Hill was founded in the late winter of 1963 and opened for its first summer the very same year. A one-time dude ranch, where guests would visit to ride horses, milk cows, and enjoy the great outdoors, Camp Eagle Hill started with just a few buildings and facilities.

Camp Eagle Hill has a rich history of sporting events with the rival camp, Camp Scatico (sometimes referred to as Camp I Don't Wanna Go, shirts with this logo are going to be in print and can be bought for 19.95 plus 105.95 shipping and handling). The last event, a soccer match, proved to be a hard fought victory for Eagle Hill, 1-0, after having rarely beaten Scatico, a sports camp that promotes homosexuality and the hatred of puppies. To celebrate, some of the counselors ran around camp screaming, until they were forced to stop because it was too awesome to scream out loud. Oh yeah we also had a kid with one nipple.

Camp Eagle Hill has always been friendly to animals, as shown by the love for the camp mascot, Campy. Campy was the camp dog, and while it has yet to be discovered what kind of dog he was (Legend tells us he was a golden retriever or possibly a mutt), it is known he was liked by all and always playful and fun to be around. However, one night after fighting off a pack of wolves, Campy was hit by a bus and killed instantly. He was 50, or 350 in dog years. His legend still lives on and is a constant presence around the camp.

Location

Eagle Hill is located 90 miles north of New York City off the Taconic State Parkway near the towns of Poughkeepsie, Kingston, Red Hook, and Hudson. Situated in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, not far from the New York / Massachusetts border. About one hour southeast of Albany, New York. The area has many attractions, such as beaches, mountains and trails, shopping, antiques, and many other fun excursions.

Typical Day

A typical day starts off with wake-up and then breakfast. After breakfast, you have some time to straighten your bunk up and get everything you need for your morning. There are three activity periods in the morning, each one is about 50 minutes long. Lunch is next, followed by rest hour. That's the time you get to just kick back, write a letter, relax, and recharge your batteries. Three more activities in the afternoon, including free swim, so you have the chance to hop in the pool or lake. Shower hour is after all the daytime activities are done, so you can clean up before dinner. Evening activities finish up our day, time for a little refreshments, and before you know it, it's time for bed.

Counselor Staff ==
Literally, Counselors come from all over. Some Counselors are former campers and come from the tri-state area surrounding New York City, others come from all over the world and from across the U.S. While the U.S. counselors are simply taken advantage of, foreign counselors get what we like to refer to as "exploited." Perhaps the most well loved and famous counselor would be Zach Sinemus, whose employment at Eaglie Hill was cut short on the evening of July 28th, 2007, due to an incident with a rambunctious little youngster, Andy, who blatantly attacked Sinemus and caused a riot. This was one of the most controversial events in Eagle Hill history, but due to the fact that Sinemus technically assaulted the camper, he was dismissed. This left the entire Teen Boy Division in tears, mourning the loss of the beloved counselor.

== Campers

The majority of our campers come from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and other New England states. Some campers come to us from other parts of the United States, and other countries. Over the past few years we have had campers from Spain, Korea, Mexico, Japan, Italy, and Israel. Marcy cut Max during the Prom. It was mean, real mean. I love Deborah's mind and personality. Campy will live on forever.
