Falling Creek Expeditions
Falling Creek Expeditions are an extension of our traditional camp program and share the same philosophy and values that have served generations of campers. We offer Paddling, Backpacking, and Mountain Biking expeditions.
Expeditions are lead by experienced FCC staff members focused on improving skills, character development and leadership. Under the guidance of outstanding role models, participants learn strong outdoor living skills as they share in responsibilities on the trail or river.
