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 19 years and their three school-age daughters.
