Camp Tibet Summer 2025

The first session of Camp Tibet — the first step in a new project to create an annual summer camp for the children of North American Tibetan families — will be held the week of August 10, 2025.

Camping at Eagle Island will give Tibetan children the chance to hike, swim, boat, build campfires, sleep in cabins and tents, and enjoy other camp and outdoor activities — all accompanied by Tibetan youth counselors, supported by Eagle Island’s professional staff.

Tibetan campers will be the only group using Eagle Island that week.  

As before at Tanager Lodge, there will be a tuition fee for each child who attends Camp Tibet. This fee will be substantially less than the full cost of the camp.

There will also be a limited number of scholarships available for those experiencing financial hardships, and the full cost for each camper’s attendance will be subsidized by the camp’s sponsors and donors to the full extent possible.    

Registration to attend Camp Tibet will be open to Tibetan girls and boys, ages 9-15, living in the North American Tibetan community.

Interested parents will be able to register online beginning on April 10. Registration must be completed online. Applications must be submitted by April 12.

Because this is a pilot project there will only be spots for 50 campers available this year.

After the open registration closes on April 12, an independent committee will select candidates — with the aim of having an appropriate mix of ages, genders and geographic areas represented.

After the registration committee notifies the parents that a candidate has been accepted, parents will be required to pay a $50 deposit fee — indicating that parents have read and accepted the schedule for paying the required tuition fees.
