Campers can bring their medicines and leave their illness behind as they are surrounded by peers and counselors who understand what it is like to be a child suffering with a serious illness.

    “Attending Camp Soaring Eagle was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Everyone made me feel so comfortable and for the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel different and was able to be completely myself.”
    – Manuel, Camper

    Camp Soaring Eagle offers three types of residential camping programs: Camper Weekends, Travel Programs and Family Retreats. The Camper Weekends are illness specific and take place at the Jackpot Ranch in Camp Verde, AZ. Camp Soaring Eagle will host three travel programs in 2013. One to the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, CT (The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is the original camp founded by the late Paul Newman). Two other travel trips will go to the Double H Ranch in upstate New York on the Finger Lakes. These travel programs offer unique opportunities for our campers to truly spread their wings and spend a week in a different part of the country with children from all over the world who have serious illnesses like themselves. The Family Retreat Programs are for families who a child who has been recently diagnosed with cancer. These programs take place at the beautiful Briar Patch Inn in Sedona.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
