Falling Creek Camp
We are a close-knit community of 312 campers and 140 dedicated staff members from 36 states and 18 countries. Camp is situated on 890 private mountaintop acres near Tuxedo, North Carolina. Summer Camp Sessions range from 1-week to 4-weeks, for boys in grades 1 to 10. We offer Spring and Fall Father/Son Weekend camps for boys in grades K to 10 and their fathers.

Know of an exceptional person in your community who is in college now and would be an inspiring role model on our staff? Want a taste of the Falling Creek experience when camp isn't in session? Come stay with us on property in our A-Frame house or cozy cottages, and enjoy all the trails and views that this mountain has to offer!
Services
We believe boys need a place where they can unplug from technology for literally hundreds of hours - and just "be boys." Nestled in a peaceful mountaintop cove, Falling Creek provides a unique opportunity for physical, spiritual, and social growth. Since 1969, Falling Creek families have recognized the value of the camp experience and the critical role it plays in their sons' development.
The Falling Creek Code is a set of enduring traditional values that provides the framework for everything at camp. Falling Creek is a game-changer for boys, giving them an edge by offering a supportive, impactful experience that a young man carries with him for a lifetime. It's an opportunity to make exciting choices, build confidence and character, gain skills, and develop lifelong friendships.
Annie had the unique opportunity of growing up at Falling Creek when she moved there at the age of 9 with her parents, Yates and Marisa Pharr, and her younger sisters. Annie has previously worked at a few nearby girls' camps in the area, including summers spent as an Assistant Program Director, a cabin counselor, and as a mountain bike instructor.
Originally from Ohio, Ben attended Mount Vernon Nazarene University where he majored in secondary education and history. He joined the Falling Creek summer staff in 1998, and in August of 2006, Ben joined the full-time staff as assistant program director. Today, Ben serves as the Outdoor Adventure Director for Falling Creek, coordinating all of the outdoor adventure activities.
Diana joins us as the full-time Food Services Director, taking our dining to the next level at camp. Diana is the one who plans all the delicious meals in the Dining Hall, makes sure everyone stays fueled up with nutritious food on trips, and keeps the kitchen organized and running smoothly.

Diana comes to us with an experienced background in restaurant and catering management, and with two boys of her own, she loves the high energy that comes with boys' camp!

For 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.

Your kids will be bullied, and the counselors don't care enough to do anything about it. Send your kids somewhere else.

A 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.

I went to this camp two years in a row in between my middle school years. It was truly one of the best experiences of my life. I would go again if I wasn't so old! I will never forget the great memories. Shout out to my great cabin leaders Knucks and Adam. #Osceola

Falling Creek Alumni attended camp here back in early 1980's. Very attentive staff that will care for your child as their own. Canoeing, hiking, ecological conservancy, archery, survival skills in the wild, the blob, high wire, horse riding, riflery, Red Cross classes on emergency wild life rescue, I was swimming like a fish after my first year there. Tennis, soccer, bmx, the list goes on and on photography old school we learned how to develop our own pictures. Your boy will never be bored, in fact he will have a hard time doing everything that they have to offer. Rock climbing sailing.
Much love

We love falling creek! My husband came here in the 80s and now our two sons are campers. They absolutely love it. It really is a perfect place for boys to get to be boys. Camping,sports, nature, and friends. Can not imagine a better way for them to spend a few weeks each summer.
