Imagine waking to fresh cool air, sounds of owls hooting, woodpeckers
drilling, and wandering with a steaming latté to the lake’s edge to see
eagles fishing on Pennsylvania’s second highest natural glacial lake.
What could be a more inviting way to begin the day, every day? Your
kids left the house 30 minutes ago on their bicycles to join in at “Sports
Week” at the beach. Today you have a choice – sneak away and get
some needed personal time, catch up on your reading, play golf...
whatever...the kids are safe and engaged all day in the athletic program,
prowling the woods
as part of the guided
outdoor conservation
program, taking
tennis and golf
lessons, or just
hanging out with
friends. Cars and
traffic are hardly
an issue. Lunch is
available indoors
or out at the beach, the Country Store, or the Sweet Shop. Everyone is
friendly. Life feels like a throwback to the 50’s and 60’s, a less pressured
time. Is this summer camp for the kids or for the adults?
Eagles Mere, Pennsylvania is unique.
It is a 2 ½ hour drive from Philadelphia, deep in the Endless Mountain
region of Pennsylvania. Founded in the mid 1800’s as Philadelphia’s
“East Hampton”, it is rich in history. It is on the National Historic Register
and virtually all of the gorgeous original architecture remains. It is home
to a William Flynn designed “links” course (think Merion), boundless
preserved woodlands and trails, organized mountain and road biking,
hiking, canoeing and sailing, tennis, croquet, summer arts, antique, and
craft shows, shopping, museums galore, and more recently a revived
Chautauqua. Engage as little or as much as you desire. Famous artists
make it their home. The town boasts three Olympic Gold medal winners.
There are noted authors and photographers.There is something for
everyone.The town’s one remaining historic hotel is the Eagles Mere Inn
(1887), seventeen rooms and three unique restaurants (eaglesmereinn.
com). Eagles Mere Historic Village Inc. is a 501C3 organized to preserve
the downtown and its website provides good insight into the town
(eaglesmerehistoricvillage.com).Two world class museums exist just out
of town, the Eagles Mere Air/Auto Museums (eaglesmereautomuseum.
com & eaglesmereairmuseum.org).More insight into the athletic
programs can be found at the Eagles Mere Athletic Association
