The Salvation Army Eagle Crest Camp

Children in the Clinton community have an opportunity to attend The Salvation Army’s Eagle Crest Camp. Because of your contributions, the children are able to attend at no cost.

Located just 20 miles northeast of Peoria, Illinois, Eagle Crest Camp consists of 297 acres that include wooded areas, prairie fields, and modern facilities. The Salvation Army camp promotes character building in the children and children are given tasks to complete and rewarded with emblems. Children from other areas in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois attend and so the campers have an opportunity to meet new friends from other communities, as well.
The experience of Eagle Crest is incredible and children come home feeling confident and special.
