The noncompetitive environment is inviting to campers who may be hesitant to try something new, while the awards system challenges more experienced campers. Instruction is provided from beginner to advanced in each activity area. Falcon was founded in 1959 and has been owned and directed by the Devey family since 1984. Director Dave Devey has been a part of Falcon since 1964. Falcon's rustic setting, surrounded by woods and water, allows campers to be aware of the natural beauty of the ecology that is around them.
