Dr. Harlan Eagle, Executive Director

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 to a full year-round program, 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 19 years and their three school-age daughters.

From there, Barb became the Assistant Director, which included making sure the camp was in compliance for the annual inspection by the state licensing agency. Her other major responsibility was to train and work with group leaders in the area of effective group management and camp regulations. Now serving as Associate Director, Barb is responsible for evaluating camp programs to ensure they meet the standards for the highest rating possible set forth by the accrediting agency, the American Camp Association. Barb loves outdoor activities and is the director of the Greenbrier Camping Adventure, where she leads campers on a week of whitewater rafting, mountain biking, hiking, and of course, camping.
