The Falcon Camp College Scholarship Program

Congratulations to our 2019 winners, Abby McCartney and Julia Shorey!

Falcon Camp has been helping children grow and learn for more than 50 years and starting this year, we are continuing that support of students as they learn, grow, and continue to go after their dreams by creating the Falcon Camp College Scholarship Program. You don’t need to be a Falcon Camp alumni or summer camp alumni to apply either!
