Falcon Camp

Good Things Happen By Design

Senior Staff

Lauren Castner (Waterfront):  Lauren has been counting down to her 3rd summer at Falcon since the last one ended!  She just finished her freshman year at Boston College, where she intends to major in history and possibly minor in film studies.  Lauren is looking forward to eating hot dogs at cookouts and spending her days down at the point.  She has taught swim lessons for the past two years, and is excited to do so again this summer.  Lauren can't wait to be reunited with returning Falcon faces, and meet all the new campers and staff she'll be spending the summer with!

Tali Cornblath: Tali can't wait for summer number nine with the Falcon crew! This year sparked big changes, beginning with a transfer to Boston for college at Tufts University. Luckily she's still doing lots of theatre there, as well as taking classes in that area and many others, including child development and philosophy (possible majors? Who knows?) She can't wait to play all the new games and use all the new exercises she's learned this summer!

Kip Goulder (Sailing): Returning for his ninth year, Kip is looking forward to spending another summer as part of the Falcon staff. Kip lives in Cleveland and attends Purdue University, where he is majoring in construction management. During the summer, he teaches sailing, an activity he has taken great enthusiasm in since learning the sport during his first summer at Falcon. Because his future summers will require internships, and then "the real world," he is ready to make this summer the best of his time at Falcon and finish strong!

Tessa LaRue: Tessa is very excited to come back to Falcon for her 10^th summer. She is currently a senior at Lake Ridge Academy in North Ridgeville and is planning to attend Fordham University in New York City this fall. Her favorite Falcon meal is grilled cheese and tomato soup. This summer she is going to be out in the stables and up in riflery. She can’t wait for Summer 08 to start!

Leah Newman (Stables):  Leah cannot wait to kick off her ninth summer at Falcon this year!  She is graduating from Shaker Heights High School and will be attending Fordham University this fall. Her favorite Falcon meal is grilled cheese, and she loves to take long trail rides when it gets warm out. Leah is most looking forward to passing on her equestrian knowledge to campers, and getting them excited about horses and camp in general.  She is excited to see returning members of the Falcon family and to meet the new additions as well!

Erin Steinberg (office manager): Erin is excited for her 3rd summer at Falcon this year! She is a sophomore at Wittenberg University (Go Tigers!), where she lives with her stuffed animals, Plopper the Platypus and Moxy the Ugly Doll. Erin is an after-school tutor to students at the Springfield public schools and loves working with kids! She loves Falcon's "Breakfast Pizza" and Shirley's world famous buckeye-bars. Her most favorite memory at Falcon is the cookout with swim goggles from her first summer. This summer, Erin will mostly be working in the office, but you might see her lifeguarding or roaming camp and taking pictures.

Jennifer Schad: Jennifer has just finished her freshman year at Allegheny College in Meadville, PA. She is currently pursuing a double major in History and English. This will be Jen's 10th summer back at Falcon and her second year as a Senior Counselor! She can't wait to return to camp for more fun in the sun!

Dan Strassfeld (Woodslore, Riflery, Sailing):  Dan is returning to Falcon Camp for his seventh summer.  A soon-to-be graduate of Shaker Heights High School, he is looking forward to his second summer as a staff member at Falcon where he teaches woodslore, riflery, and sailing.  His favorite memory from camp (also the scariest) is the first cabin of campers he was responsible for as a CIT.  Dan is very excited to see the friends he has missed all year and make new ones, too.

John Ubersax (Tennis): This will be John's 6th year at Falcon. He was raised in Cleveland, Ohio, but now attends Saint Michael's College in Burlington Vermont. At Saint Mike's, he is a double major in Business and Economics with a minor in Marketing. During the winter, he often goes skiing to occupy his free time. Some of his other interests include LeBron James, BBQ'ing, and ping pong.

Carson Wilson:  Carson is pleased to be returning for his fourth year at Falcon.  He just finished his freshman year at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia after graduating from Quaker Valley HS just outside of Pittsburgh.  He plans on someday coming back for consecutive summers.  Go Steelers.

Kat Wilhem: Kat is exited to spend her 6th summer at Falcon. Falcon is a part of her life and she enjoys every aspect of camp. Kat comes from Germany and enjoys traveling.  She loves being outdoors and around horses. Kat has been riding for 14 years and has played an active part of her local horse scene for many years. You are most likely to find her at the stables. She has been trained in art history and management in London with a particular emphasis on Fine Arts and Antiques.
