Description For Parents:
Nestled in a peaceful mountaintop cove, Falling Creek provides a unique opportunity for physical, spiritual, and social growth. We believe boys need a place where they can just “be boys.†Camp is a place to play and explore away from modern technology.
Falling Creek's leadership believes that boys living together with fellow campers from different parts of the world fosters social maturity. Therefore, we make an effort to balance our enrollment by accepting campers from various geographic areas. Embracing traditional Christian values, Falling Creek welcomes all campers and strives to nurture spiritual growth in a relaxed setting.
