Where good things happen by design

Set in the woods on a private lake, Falcon Camp is an intentional, off-the-grid experience that builds independence, confidence, and lifelong friendships — while campers simply have the summer of their lives.

Choose Your Own Adventure

Every camper builds their own day

Four activity periods a day, twelve activities to pick from — and no advance sign-ups. Try something new each day and earn awards that grow year after year.

Something for Everyone

From the saddle to the sailboat

Whether it’s archery, riflery, and tennis; swimming, sailing, canoeing, and fishing; drama and athletics; or woodslore, horseback riding, and crafts — there’s always something a camper can’t wait to try.

  • Certified, caring instructors in every area
  • Horseback riding & horsemanship (extra riding available)
  • Half-day adventures: trail rides, canoe hikes, rocketry & more
  • Weekend tribe competitions — Color Wars, Olympics, Capture the Flag

Home is a cabin in the woods, on a lake

Campers live in traditional cabins with wooden bunks and open-air screens, share family-style meals of fresh, restaurant-grade food — salad bar at every meal — and fall asleep to the sounds of the Ohio woods.

Falcon raises its own grass-fed beef and cooks from scratch. Chef Shirley’s beef stew, bread pudding, and buckeye bars are camp legends — with vegetarian options always available.

New Friends, Real Belonging

Where friends become family

With a 1:4 counselor-to-camper ratio and small, close cabin groups, every camper is known and cared for. The friendships made at Falcon last a lifetime — just ask any alum.
