Much has changed at camp over the years. "The Canteen" has moved around the camp about a half dozen times and now resides in a beautiful new recreation hall called "The Lodge".
The Eagle Hill Theatre is in its third and now permanent location at the end of our gymnasium, "Big Red". The dancing that shook the walls and roof of "The Barn" in the early days, gave way to our long-standing and wonderful creative arts program. For those alumni not with us since the mid 70's, you may be surprised to know that the swampy area beneath our basketball court (our only one back then), became a beautiful pond. The Handball Wall succumbed to the weather a number of years ago.

The layout of the camp has changed over the years. You may recall the younger campers, (the juniors and inters) living on one side of the camp, while older campers (the teens) lived on the other side of camp. This changed in the late 80's and believe it or not, we now have a boys and girls side of camp with our girls living in Cottage and Lakeside, and our boys living in Hillside and Hilltop. The former buildings of Hillsides 9-12 have been reconstructed into our new Camp Infirmary. For more recent alumni, "The Rec Hall" next to the Dining Room, a one time haven for many a dance party and refreshment, is now a second Dining Room Area.
While we've added many large indoor spaces and lots of athletic facilities over the years, the most distinguishing change at camp took place during the early 80's when we totally opened up the grounds of camp, removing all of the old trees that stood in the middle of camp, leaving a beautiful view of camp from one end of Eagle Hill to the other.
