5 Camp Traditions
First time at camp this summer and new to Falling Creek’s traditions? Director of Camper Development, Mike Nuckles, explains 5 events/traditions we have here at camp, when they happen, and why they matter within the camp community.
We made this camp traditions video for staff as part of the 11-week “Couch to Camp” countdown, which will share all the important details you need to be ready for All-Staff-Orientation on May 30th, 2025. (But new campers may enjoy watching it too!).
Paddle Hard!
Whitewater kayaking, lake canoeing, and every kind of paddling in between - you can do it all at Falling Creek!
At camp we support “challenge by choice,” where boys are encouraged to work up to more challenging rivers according to both their interest and increasing skill level. Falling Creek is the foundation where you can learn to paddle, growing skills and confidence no matter your starting point.
We run the rivers as a team, following our progression system one step at a time until the boys are confident and ready for the next river.
Take A Hike
What’s backpacking like at Falling Creek? Hear from the campers themselves!
We offer trips of various lengths from short half-day trips to epic five-day adventures! Boys will hear announcements for trips each day at Morning Assembly, and they can sign up to join any of these adventures.
Backpacking and hiking give you the opportunity to experience the rugged beauty of Western North Carolina firsthand, admiring waterfalls, open vistas, rhododendron tunnels, and hardwood stands dating back hundreds of years.
On these trips, campers gain self-reliance and outdoor survival skills as they learn to safely build a fire, cook outdoors, how to find and purify water in the wilderness, and read a map. Each Trip Leader on staff is Wilderness First Responder certified, and possesses valuable knowledge of the local area, along with years of trip leading know-how.
Campfire
Every week we cross Bain Bridge in silence and gather for Campfire by the lower lake. We sing songs, laugh at skits, and share peaceful moments around the fire. This video shows a glimpse of what it’s like.

Cabin Overnights
Cabin Overnights are a time for silliness, s’mores, and sleepovers! They offer a chance for boys to hike out as a cabin group, prepare fajitas (and s’mores) outdoors, get to know each other better through discussions around the campfire, and fall asleep to the sound of crickets and cicadas throughout our woods.
