Nestled in the woods on beautiful Leesville Lake lies a multi award- winning summer camp that has served families from around the world since 1959. Located within 2 hours of 3 different airports and easy driving distance from Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, Falcon Camp is widely recognized as Ohio’s premier summer camp.
Falcon offers an eye-catching lakefront setting, a talented staff, and a wide range of activities. Boys and girls ages 6-16 choose daily from a variety of activities such as sailing, horseback riding, tennis, theater, sports, riflery, crafts, nature study and so much more. A popular extra riding program is available in addition to the regular horseback riding program. Daily activities are gender separate with planned coed activities and divided by appropriate age/grade. The non-competitive environment is inviting to campers who may be hesitant to try something new, while the awards system challenges even the most experienced campers.
Fun for Now, Skills for Life.
A Camp that Exceeds Your Expectations.
Falcon has a strong reputation for making sure a camper’s first camping experience is positive. This Traditional Camp offers programs in 2, 4, 6, and 8-week sessions. A 1:4 staff/camper ratio ensures individual attention and instruction in each activity. Instruction is given from beginner to advanced in each area and campers are encouraged to try everything before choosing favorites. The Health Center is available 24/7 with an on-site nurse and the Kitchen serves excellent food with good variety and attention to individual needs.
Falcon also offers an exciting one-week intro ‘Young Adventure’ program for campers ages 6-10. This unique program is designed with care to guide younger campers toward success in their first great adventure away from home. A 1:3 staff/camper ratio gives Falcon the ability to keep a close eye and give a helping hand when needed. Basic skills are taught with an emphasis on safety as well as fun.
Falcon holds 110 campers and is small by intention. Within the first few days everyone recognizes everyone around them and there is an immediate comfort level with familiar faces. Camp is small enough that we can all know each other while large enough to have a diversity of personalities that everyone can find friends with similar interests.
Falcon’s directors are experienced and caring. Our leadership development programs for older campers and junior staff are respected across the camping world. Our efforts to create an atmosphere of safety and healthy learning help campers reach outside their comfort zones to feel good about trying new activities and making new friends. Falcon friendships do last a lifetime. At Falcon, good things happen by design.
Most important of all: Falcon is great fun! “Fun for Now, Skills for Life” is more than a logo phrase but is truly what happens at camp. Falcon has been accredited by the American Camp Association since 1959. Campers join Falcon from across the country and from around the world.
