TYPE OF CAMP: Overnight/Sleepaway.
CAMPER GENDER(S): All Boy Campers.
BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Night Eagle is a unique primitive summer camp for boys. At Night Eagle, we live in tipis and do things that boys did hundreds of years ago - learn survival skills (fire making with flint & steel or bow drills, plant identification, tracking), create lots of craft items (birchbark baskets, moccasins), go on hikes, canoe, swim, and play lots of games (Buffalo Robe, Stalk the Chief and Slack 'Em to name a few)!
CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Swimming, Adventure, Wilderness/Nature, Waterfront/Aquatics, Fine Arts/Crafts, and more. Wilderness Skills: Flint & Steel, Bow Drill, Hand Drill, Camouflage, Stalking, Wild Edibles, Survival, Debris Huts, Archery, "hawk" Throwing, Atlatls
CAMP LOCATION: We are located in Vermont on 145 forested acres, which is completely surrounded by 365,000 acres of the Green Mountain National Forest. We are 2 1/2 hours from Hartford, three hours from Boston, and five hours from New York.
▌Read More about Night Eagle Wilderness Adventures
CAMP FACILITIES: 10 tipis, 2 lakes for swimming and canoeing, a small garden, a semi-permanent open air structure for gatherings, and a food shelter complete with solar power.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Night Eagle has a decentralized program consisting of over 200 possible activities. On a daily basis after breakfast and again after rest hour, boys select the activities they want to participate in. Our activities tend to spring from the environment and teach boys to rely on their own ingenuity. Through these activities and the slower pace of life in camp, boys naturally develop a deeper respect for the land and an authentic sense of personal accomplishment as they learn to live competently in the woods.
Night Eagle is a different kind of camp based on mutual responsibility and cooperation. Through community living and group decision making, boys learn to live and play together in a spirit of cooperation rather than competition.
Night Eagle typically receives scores in the mid to upper 90s from the state health inspector, and has won the Markel Safety Award four years in a row!

Girls can redesign their activity schedules every two weeks choosing from beginner, intermediate and advanced level classes.

CAMPER AGES: 14-65+
TYPE OF CAMP: Overnight/Sleepaway. Daily Mon-Fri- 9 am - 5 pm
CAMPER GENDER(S): Coed Campers.
BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: A series of excellent courses each lasting one week gives campers everything they need to completely disassemble a flute, clean and oil the keys, and reassemble it using the right tools in a small workshop attached to the Landell's home.
CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Swimming, Music/Band, Fine Arts/Crafts, Technology, and more. Flute Performance & Chamber Music.
CAMP LOCATION: The Landell workshop is about 800 square feet of extended garage space attached to our 4 bedroom Colonial home on a dead end dirt road. We have a 5 acre woodlot around us, and it seems to be very rustic and rural, but not isolated. We are about 1/2 hour from Burlington International Airport (BTV), and the city of Burlington is easily reached by a nearby Interstate 89 at exit 11.
▌Read More about Vermont Guild of Flute Making
CAMP FACILITIES: The workshop can accommodate 4 students each working at their own bench, and there is a modern machine shop for metal working. We have Wi-Fi available for Internet access. Our children are all grown up now, so we have several bedrooms available for students who want full room and board with family style home cooked meals. We have a grand piano in the music room, so we often enjoy playing chamber music together after dinner.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: The teacher is Jonathon A. Landell, master flute maker and flutist with 40+ years experience building hand made professional flutes for flutists world-wide, and he has sponsored these workbench training courses for the Vermont Guild of Flute Making for over 30 years. Students from every continent have traveled to Vermont to study the art of flute making and repairing, and they often return home to establish their own businesses or to find work at an established flute making company.
First, students will begin with Padding Techniques for one week by replacing all the pads from their own project flute with new pads, learning how to install and shim each pad until it seals perfectly, and then setting up the keywork to operate perfectly.
Then the second week in the Overhaul Techniques class, students will learn how to prepare a professional hand made flute for a complete overhaul by taking out dents and scratches, removing normal wear from the keys, and polishing the whole flute in the buffing machine. They also make some tools and learn how to operate a lathe, drill press and grinder. We talk about how to start a small repair business, and gather the necessary tools and supplies from vendors.
The third week students will Build Your Own Head Joint, which is the mouthpiece part of the flute. This is a hands-on flute making class where students learn the basic techniques needed to build a silver flute by hand. Filing, scraping, burnishing, sanding and polishing, torch soldering with lead solder and silver solder, and various simple machine tool operations bring the student into the craftsmanship experience that is only available through the Vermont Guild. Students will complete this class in one week and go home with a silver head joint that they made and has their own name engraved on it by Mr. Landell.
Finally, the ambitious students will complete the Build Your Own Flute class in six weeks. Starting with a silver flute body that was prepared by Mr. Landell, they will learn to file and fit each of the key parts together, brazing them with a torch, and hand fitting them together into a traditional Boehm system flute with French pointed arms, open holes and B foot joint. When the flute has been completely assembled and polished, it will have white gold springs and all the necessary hardware ready for paddng at home.
The Advanced Flute Padding Techniques class will offer training in using the modern synthetic pads of Straubinger or Schmidt, and other high tech tools for measurement of air leakage and precision padding. The Piccolo Padding Techniques class gives full training in installing cork or felt pads in piccolos, and finishing the work to set-up perfectly.
After completion of each one week class, students will receive a certificate signed by Mr. Landell showing that they successfully completed the courses. After completing the six week Build Your Own Flute class, students will receive the Guild's certificate, and the flute will be their own property for playing music and showing at exhibitions and fairs.
OTHER CAMP INFO: The first week campers remove all the pads and replace them with new pads, learning how to install pads without any air leakage.
