Falcon's Activity Periods- Campers make the choices!
At Falcon, campers have the opportunity to choose his or her own activities. The chart above shows the four main activity periods that make up the typical weekday at camp. Though the activities may look the same as other camps, your ability to choose an activity separates us from the rest. For example, let' say your first activity period is ART. You can choose to stay in tennis for the entire time, visit all three areas, or only go to riflery and archery. The choice is yours!
As you look through all of the activities Falcon has to offer, try something new. Our talented staff have the appropriate experience and certification to teach you how to sail a sunfish, ride a horse, and much more. Each activity has different award levels to meet the needs of all ages and abilities. All awards are presented at the Falcon Award's Night held the Friday before departure. Many of our campers post the awards at home to countdown the days before next summer!
Campers travel to activity periods by unit. What's a unit?

Camper's Choice
Dances!
The first Saturday of each two weeks, all of camp gathers in the pavilion for another unforgettable Falcon dance. There are usually lots of costumes, loud music, and dancing campers and staff involved.
Evening Activity
Evening activity is a great time to break into coed groups for a canoe trip to the dam or a soccer game. But sometimes it can be a time to relax with the kids in your unit. The Hawks may gather in the lodge for a spa night while the Eagles play a match of Falconball on the softball field. Do you have a great idea for an evening activity this summer? Make sure to send it in!
Extra Riding
Special extra horseback riding and horsemanship is available at an additional fee of $100 per two weeks. This is in addition to regular riding and includes 6-8 hours of mounted lessons and ground work.
Horsecare
Can get enough of the horses in your regularly scheduled rides? Wake up before breakfast and head over to the stables for Horsecare. During this time, campers will help lead the horses out of the corral, clean off last night's dirt with curry combs/brushes, and feed the horses a nutritional breakfast of hay and grain. This is an optional camp activity.
About once per week, campers have
the opportunity to sign up for an evening activity of their choice! During Camper's Choice, counselors
offer to teach their special talents and hobbies to
their campers. Activities have included jewelry making, juggling, guitar lessons, yoga, and much more.
