The mission of Bald Eagle Camps is to "Redefine what it means to be a winner." As the first ever Positive Coaching Alliance Approved Camp, we aim to instill the qualities of a Triple Impact Competitor into each individual. The real benefit of those traits aims to help youth compete against the challenges in life and on the playing field. The researched and proven methods designed by Positive Coaching Alliance are deeply embedded in every offering at Bald Eagle Camps. We teach the Mastery Approach to Learning where success is achieved through maximum effort, an attitude of learning, and freedom from the fear of mistakes. The umbrella goal of every Bald Eagle Camp, Clinic, or Training is to have fun and find success in life-time activities.
Every coach associated with Bald Eagle Camps has been trained in the Positive Coaching Alliance www.positivecoach.org methods of creating an optimal culture for youth. We feel that overall healthy development is directly related to positive feedback, guidance, support, friendship, mentoring, and genuine interaction with their peers.
