"What a great camp!! The staff is wonderful a little older than the average camp making me feel a little safer, with the activities they do. We used this camp before with another child and loved it. They were too old to go again. This year we sent our younger daughter to WAEL and she has not stopped talking about it. We love the camp and will continue to send our children. I do have to add we did inform our children that the camp would be hard and showed them the FAQ section of the web site, they did know that it was a leave no trace camp and would be eating dehydrated food. Needless to say my daughter is already checking for next years camps and she can't wait until she is old enough for the scuba diving. I love the confidence that both children came home with and the stories of Rock climbing, canoeing, caving and hiking and yes of course the zip line are great. Not many 12 year old girls can say they did all that this summer. Recommended with enthusiasm"

"This is NOT your normal summer camp, and that was perhaps the largest factor in my choosing to attend Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing. You will hike. You will sleep on the ground. You will be without a toilet. You will eat dehydrated food. These things are all part of the experience, however, and I would never change them. I cherish the memories of my weeks at WA more than any of my other summer memories. Any time that I am feeling stressed out by life, I always go back to canoeing on the New River. A perfect day, adrift and at peace on the water. I cannot recall a more relaxing and fun experience than WA. Nor can I remember a more satisfying feeling than taking off my boots after an all-day hike, and then sitting by a camp fire, cooking REAL FOOD! Thank you WA, for providing me with priceless memories and lots of new friends."

"What a great camp. My daughter will be on her way this summer again, making this her 4th year @ WAEL. Confidence, character, life building. This is NOT a cushy summer camp. Given the option to change camps every year, we get a resounding NO WAY. Gene and Pat run an experience with fabulous staff and facilities. Thank you"

Wilderness Adventure has become a summer tradition in our house! Each of our 3 teens has eagerly looked forward to their chance to savor the experience of internally pushing themselves yet in a safe environment with knowledgeable staff. Each year they come home with huge smiles on their confident faces!"

"The program I did with WAEL was the best experience of my life... I learned about myself, made lasting friendships, worked hard and was challenged, and most of all, had fun. The rigorous activities were difficult at the time, but now I look back and smile at how great it was. I will never forget the program I did with WAEL."

"To those who make Wilderness Adventure possible, I was part of a retreat at eagle landing a week ago and just wanted to express my appreciation to the staff for the hard work and energy it took to have the St. Giles youth group. We all had an incredible time, and look
forward to returning soon. From the food and lodging to the incredible activities and experience the entire weekend was a blessing (not to mention the gorgeous landscape). All of the of your staff participants were awesome and really made the trip fun and exciting. Thanks for all you do at wilderness adventure and we all hope to return soon!
