Falcon Camp

Widely recognized across the Midwest as Ohio’s premier summer camp, Falcon is an excellent opportunity for young people to gain a strong camping experience--and have a great time! Falcon offers a beautiful lakefront setting, a talented mature staff and a wide variety of activities. Our 1:4 staff/camper ratio enables us to give each Falcon camper the individual attention necessary to assure a summer of fun and learning. Falcon counselors average four years of “Falcon experience” as campers and staff. Falcon is accredited by the American Camp Association under a set of over 300 standards emphasizing health, safety and program quality. Falcon is a traditional, rustic camp that has been around since 1959, and we have used that time to develop great programs and meaningful traditions. Each activity area uses what campers learn each day to build toward awards. Our activities include swimming, boating, horseback riding, drama, crafts, athletics, riflery, archery, and more! At Falcon, the major ingredients to success are taking good care of our campers and creating an atmosphere of encouragement and understanding. Campers learn new skills and grow in self-confidence, esteem and independence. Our non-competitive environment is inviting to campers who may be hesitant to try something they have never done before, while our awards system challenges our most experienced campers. We teach from beginner to advanced in each of our activity areas. “Fun for Now, Skills for Life” is not just a catchy phrase but truly exemplifies what Falcon is and what we do at camp. Camp size is important to us. At 110 campers, Falcon is large enough to provide a diversity of personalities so that everyone can find friends, yet small enough that we know each camper. With an average 70% camper return rate, Falcon has a nice mixture of “old hands” and new faces.
