Notes:  HORSES! HORSES! HORSES! are what you get at Falcon Horse Lover Camp. In this unique program, you receive “your own horse” and literally eat, sleep and breathe horses all day, every day. Girls only, ages 11 – 15, are accepted from the beginner level up to the accomplished intermediate level. The week-long camps run from June 19 – August 13. Nestled in the woods on Leesville Lake in Carrollton, OH, Horse Lover’s Camp shares the same location as Falcon Camp but is an entirely separate program. A very limited enrollment of 8 girls (12 at end of summer), two riding rings and miles of trails, gives us plenty of room for individual instruction and group lessons.

From the first feeding in the morning until dark, activities surround horses. Campers ride about 4 hours a day with excellent horses and instructors. Ring lessons, trail rides, cross country and fun games are all part of your week. Instruction in basic skills, all gaits, horsemanship, equitation, stable management, first aid and horse health, safety, ground lessons, guest speakers and more. This program is truly designed for horse lovers who already have some basic skills and awareness.

Swimming and waterfront program are included each day. On the last day of camp, there is a mini-clinic for the family to observe. A video is made for each camper over the course of the week so the total horsemanship experience can be reviewed at home. Horse Lover’s Camp helps the basic beginner to the advanced rider. References available and ACA accredited since 1959. If you love horses, you’ll love this camp!

Notes:  Widely recognized throughout the Midwest as Ohio’s premier private camp, Falcon Camp offers a beautiful lakefront setting, a talented experienced staff and a wide variety of activities. Falcon accepts boys and girls ages 6-16 and is celebrating its 53^nd summer. Program includes horseback riding, sailing, swimming, canoeing, fishing, rocketry, drama, crafts, team sports, riflery, archery, nature, overnights, special events and field trips, tennis, and much more. Campers choose their own activities within a general framework each day.

Falcon is a traditional, rustic camp where major ingredients to success are taking good care of our campers and creating an atmosphere of encouragement and understanding. Our 4 to 1 camper/staff ratios allow us to give each Falcon camper individual attention necessary to assure a summer of fun and learning. “Fun for Now, Skills for Life” is not just our motto, the phrase truly embodies what Falcon means, how we teach, and our goals for each camper.

We have a strong reputation for making sure a camper’s first overnight experience is very positive. Our non-competitive environment is inviting to campers who may be hesitant to try something they have never done before, while our awards system challenges our most experienced campers. We instruct from beginner to advanced in each activity we offer.

With an average 70% camper return rate, Falcon has a nice mixture of “old hands” and new faces. Over the past several years Falcon has been host to campers from 18 different states and eight countries. The majority of campers attend from the Cleveland, Columbus, and Pittsburgh areas, all within easy driving distance.

Falcon is an outstanding opportunity for fun and learning. A summer at Falcon is a special experience where good things happen by design.

notes:

Falcon Young Adventure Camp is a unique and exciting introduction to overnight camping for boys and girls ages 6 -9. These one-week programs are designed with care to guide the campers in being successful with their first great “Young Adventure” away from home. Program includes horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, archery, air rifles, crafts, sports, rocketry, fishing, tennis and much more. Young Adventures takes place within Falcon Camp’s traditional camping program and they have the opportunity to observe and occasionally join the older campers. A 1:2 staff/camper ratio gives us the ability to keep a close eye on each camper with a staff member always available with a helping hand. This will provide a very personal camp experience for young first time campers.  In the living units, this also allows for more attention to “parental concerns” such as eating right, brushing your teeth and the classic standard: I know it’s your favorite shirt but you still can’t wear it every day! The Young Adventurers travel as a group with a counselor to all activity areas.  At each activity they will learn the basic skills needed to enjoy themselves safely.

Notes: Beat the heat wave and exercise your brain waves at the Thurber Summer Writing Camp! Kids entering grades 2-8 will sharpen their creative writing skills over five days filled with special guests, field trips, and classes designed to enhance any young writer’s talent.

Campers will create characters that jump off the page, add hair-raising suspense to their story, and invent new worlds as they stretch their creative writing muscles. In the end they will have a notebook full of stories, a new group of friends, and an enhanced love of writing. We hope to see you this summer!

Notes: The Foster Scholarship provides campers, ages 11-13, with the summer opportunity of a lifetime.

The Foster Scholarship is a full-tuition, merit scholarship that includes room and board, required fees, and uniforms. Preference will be given to those candidates qualifying for financial aid and those residing in Ohio.

The scholarship is renewable annually. Recipients who continue to excel academically, as a camp leader, and in activities will realize a total value in excess of $15,000 over three summers at Culver.

To be considered, applicants must have previously demonstrated excellence in academics, citizenship and character.

Each scholarship recipient is expected to exemplify leadership in his or her cabin and to be in good citizenship standing while attending Woodcraft Camp and to report in September to the Foster family on his or her Woodcraft experience.

A special added component of the Foster Scholarship will be the opportunity for recipients to attend a designated leadership conference during the school year to be determined on an individual basis for each recipient. The Foster Scholarship is open to campers who have displayed academic, citizenship, and character excellence, and who have been admitted to the Cardinal or Beaver level (ages 11-13) of Culver Woodcraft Camp.

Culver’s Foster Family Woodcraft Scholarship is open to outstanding students. Competition for the Foster Scholarship will be keen. It is recommended that students apply for admission to Woodcraft Camp and submit their Foster Scholarship application well before the deadline. Applicants must be accepted for admittance to Woodcraft Camp before they will be considered for the Foster Scholarship. The Foster family’s generous gift to Culver will provide scholarship recipients the opportunity to learn, grow, and mature in an international educational environment with campers from around the world.
