THE FALCONER
January 2006

REGISTRATION UPDATE
Every year, early registration grows larger and we start to fill faster and faster. This year we surprised even ourselves! By the end of early registration in mid December, Senior Girls were full for the first four weeks. This is by far the earliest any group has ever filled. Falcon is approximately 70% full as I write this and as we begin the camp fair schedule, inquiries are coming in daily. Please, if you are thinking of returning to Falcon, or if you are a new family just thinking about summer, plan now while there is still some time. Senior Girls still have a few spaces left during the 3rd two weeks with more room available in the last two weeks. There is still room in all sessions for Jr. Girls, Jr. Boys, and Sr. Boys but the first half of the summer has much less space than the second half. There is time for most of you to join us this year and you are welcome to call us anytime to see what is available.

ALUMNI NEWS
With the ease of the internet, we receive more notes from alumni all the time and are in the midst of rebuilding our alumni database. If you are a Falcon alumnus or know of anyone, please email us at FalconCampAlumni@aol.com. We would like to add you to our growing list.
BIGGER, BETTER FARM
We have been able to purchase the farm property adjacent to our Falcon farm at the top of the camp road. This additional 55 acres now gives us 128 acres to develop for our use. Current plans involve more overnight camping spots, increased pasture for horses, maintenance storage and additional riding/hiking trails. Future plans include some select logging, a new private lake for camper use, several cabins for camping and more. We are looking at a wide range of possible options to make Falcon an even better place to spend the summer.

FROM THE DIRECTOR
We are looking forward to seeing many of you at the camp shows this winter. It is always fun to see campers halfway through the year and talk about upcoming plans.
I am very pleased and proud that Falcon begins to fill faster every year. We work hard at providing an outstanding experience for all of our campers and our return rate certainly shows the success of that effort. What is important to note is that our staff return rate is about the same as it is for campers. Having consistent, qualified, caring staff members is essential to running a good program. Nat Sheppard, Pat Dezort and Helene Thoen joined Phil and I at an ACA conference in January, especially to hear camp consulting expert Bob Ditter speak on working with children and parents. You’ll see and hear more about Bob Ditter on our web site and the parent handbook. I’ve known Bob for many years and his insights on helping children grow are well worth listening to.
Our growing Counselor in Training program is part of how we maintain the quality, tradition and high standards of our staff. Look at the impressive experience of future counselors on our web site. These are young people to be proud of.
We are truly getting excited about Falcon this summer. Come and join us!
