Camp War Eagle
Camp War Eagle is a joint effort of the Walton Family Foundation and Camp Ozark. Located on Beaver Lake near Rogers, Arkansas, Camp War Eagle serves boys and girls ages 7 to 17 from Benton, Washington, Carroll and Madison counties in northwest Arkansas. Although similar to Camp Ozark, Camp War Eagle's campers generally pay no tuition. Instead, the Walton Family Foundation pays most of the camper's fees to attend the camp. Camp War Eagle campers typically earn their place at camp through a variety of factors such as school performance and community service. Camp War Eagle began operations in the summer of 2006.The camp also has a time in the day called "Tribal Competition", when the campers are split in to two tribes, Caddo and Osage.
