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.

Famous quotes containing the words camp, war and/or eagle:
“When the weather is bad as it was yesterday, everybody, almost everybody, feels cross and gloomy. Our thin linen tents—about like a fish seine, the deep mud, the irregular mails, the never to-be-seen paymasters, and “the rest of mankind,” are growled about in “old-soldier” style. But a fine day like today has turned out brightens and cheers us all. We people in camp are merely big children, wayward and changeable.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The war is dreadful. It is the business of the artist to follow it home to the heart of the individual fighters—not to talk in armies and nations and numbers—but to track it home.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“It was quite an insignificant looking sheet, but no sooner did the American eagle catch sight of it, than he swooned and fell off his perch.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
