Parents
Keeping parents informed is very important to us. The directors are always available to discuss your son’s progress and share information about his camp experiences.
Whether you are new to Falling Creek or a veteran camp parent, explore our website to learn more about our program. We also encourage you to visit our staff site to learn more about what we look for in our counselors and how we recruit and select them. First-time families may also request more information online, if you are not familiar with our summer camp.

Historically, I would be a mother who would have the ‘guilty’ feeling of sending my son away for part of the summer. But after being on site during camp doc week and seeing/living/breathing the experiences, emotions, and attitudes of the campers, I can speak to the joy these boys are filled with and the sense of unity and freedom they have.

I cannot begin to thank you and your staff enough for everything you do. Our son’s experiences at Falling Creek taught him to overcome his fears and develop a confidence that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much!
