★★★★★Robert ChambersNo single experience has ever contributed towards growing me into the man I am more than my years at Falling Creek. What a wonderful experience to look back on. My stories come up in casual conversation constantly. I learned discipline, brotherly love, problem solving, and numerous other life long lessons. The bonds I formed, the lessons I learned, and the memories I share from those years of main camp will be something I cherish my entire life. Thank you guys so much for everything. -Sam Chambers
★★★★★Chris S.This place is probably one of the best places to do a father-son camp at! They have the most beautiful lake, you can do zip lining, roller coaster into the lake, archery, rock climbing, blacksmithing, and they even have this really cool indoor dodgeball facility. They are also very friendly to military units doing family activities. I would highly recommend this camp to anybody. Especially if you want to get away as a father and son and truly bond!! Fantastic camp!!
★★★★★Allison CrumplerAs a former camp counselor at a different large NC overnight camp, I know what a rewarding experience camp can be for children but also how important it is to have staff in place who are compassionate, enthusiastic, well trained, and responsible. Falling Creek excels in hiring and training staff in order to give boys the best camp experience possible. The entire staff is highly attentive and cares about the individual needs of each child in their care. My child returned from Falling Creek with so much joy!
★★★★★Medium FootFor what it's worth in this era, I attended for 5 summers in the '70's. A fantastic and formative part of my development. Excellent activities, instruction and music. As I understand, a leader in outdoor education in Western NC. Steve Longnecker is the best.
★★★★★James KennedyA wonderful place! Every boy should have the chance to experience Falling Creek. The staff is first rate and inspirational and the facilities are second to none. My son didn't want to leave! I can't say enough good things about Falling Creek. You will never regret going.
