Our Mission

At Camp Odyssey, our mission is to provide the highest quality experiences possible for our campers and their families. As the premier day camp in the area, we are well equipped to do just that. A staff of talented, compassionate, and creative counselors ensure personal attention and unique experiences for every single child that attends. We are proud to offer a wide variety of engaging activities that stimulate the mind, body, and spirit for children of all ages. Every camper that passes through our doors will leave with memories to last a lifetime.

Meet the Camp Odyssey Executive Director, Dr. Harlan Eagle

In 1990, Harlan Eagle brought a lifelong love of camp to The Salisbury School and helped transform a half-day, four week enrichment program into the first private, full-day camp on the Lower Shore. Under his leadership the camp has achieved ACA (American Camping Association) Accreditation, expanded it offerings, created The Odyssey Academy for middle and high school students and helped bring the Horizons National Program (for children from economically disadvantaged families) to Salisbury. During the school year he works with the experiential education program Beyond the Limits and Salisbury University's Outdoor Education program.

Harlan, also known as "Dr. Z" (for "zany") to the kids, holds a doctorate in Education from the University of Maryland and has worked in the field of education for more than two decades. In 2005 he received the Association for Experiential Education's "Outstanding Educator of the Year" award. He lives in Salisbury with his wife of 20 years and their three school-age daughters.
