Eagle Fern Camp includes a lodge, ten cabins, winterized cabins, a staff building, a maintenance shop, an infirmary, shower facilities, and a large, covered recreation center used for indoor sports activities and large group gatherings. The camp’s staff are trained to help children adapt to the many new experiences they will have during the week. Eagle Fern Camp states that “A week of camp can change your life!” and that “Whether you've just started school or you've just graduated, we've got a camp for you.”
Eagle Fern Camp’s mission is to provide a quality Christian program and facility for children, youth, and families in a clean, safe, and wholesome environment for the purpose of building the Body of Christ, as a Christ-centered, evangelical, nonprofit camping ministry. The camp states that it believes Jesus Christ is the “visible image of the invisible God” and that in Him all deity dwells in bodily form, that all scripture is inspired by God and is the final authority for life and faith, and that salvation comes through faith alone in Christ alone, with the stated purpose in everything being to glorify Christ and honor His Word.
Eagle Fern Camp began with leaders from seven Portland-area Plymouth Brethren churches who had a passion for the spiritual development of young people in their community, including Clinton Street Bible Chapel, Eastgate Bible Chapel, Grace Bible Fellowship, Oregon City Bible Chapel, Spring Mountain Bible Church, and Westside Bible Fellowship. A camp board of directors formed in 1952, ground was broken on July 4, 1952, and the first two weeks of camp were hosted in August 1953. A dam was installed in Eagle Creek in 1960, a fire in 1966 destroyed the old lodge, and by the summer of 1967 a new and larger lodge was ready; in 1997 a high ropes challenge course and a large, covered recreation center were completed.
