How We Do Camp
Our Mission & Values
Lauren and Stacey’s years as camp directors, educators, and moms have taught them the importance of being thoughtful and intentional. They are honored to be responsible for your camper’s care, with safety and well-being always at the heart of what they do.
Camp Eastwood’s mission and values is to provide a fun, supportive, skill-building introduction to overnight camp. Just as important, we want every camper to leave feeling more inspired to take on what’s next - confident, valued, and enriched by the experiences and connections they’ve made.
The program fills a crucial gap between early development and the confidence, skills and stamina needed for longer residential camp experiences and beyond. Families can feel assured knowing Camp Eastwood is purposely designed for elementary-aged children to grow and build key life skills while gaining readiness for future sleepaway camp.
