Eagle Fern Camp Summer Camps are part of a Christian camping program that describes itself as a Christ-centered, evangelical, nonprofit camping ministry. The camp offers a Day Camp for 1st–3rd grades, an Intermediate Camp that is generally the first overnight camping encounter for young campers, Girls Camp and Boys Camp for 5th–6th grades, Jr Hi Boys Camp and Jr Hi Girls Camp for grades 7–9, and a High School Camp for 9th–13th grades. The organization states that it has trained its staff to help children adapt to the many new experiences they will have during the week.

Eagle Fern Camp’s mission statement says it desires 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, and that in everything it does, its purpose is to glorify Christ and honor His Word. The camp identifies its beliefs that Jesus Christ is the visible image of the invisible God, 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.

Eagle Fern Camp’s history includes the formation of a camp board of directors in 1952, ground breaking on July 4, 1952, and the first two weeks of camp hosted in August 1953. A dam was installed on Eagle Creek in 1960, a fire in 1966 destroyed the old lodge, and a new lodge was ready by the summer of 1967. A high ropes challenge course and a large, covered recreation center were completed in 1997. The camp began as a vision of leaders from seven Portland-area Plymouth Brethren churches—Clinton Street Bible Chapel, Eastgate Bible Chapel, Grace Bible Fellowship, Oregon City Bible Chapel, Spring Mountain Bible Church, and Westside Bible Fellowship—who focused on the spiritual development of young people in their community. The camp also notes that a week of camp can change a life and that there are opportunities to volunteer as a TCL, counselor, kitchen cook, or worship team member.
