Tripping Program
Adventure, Independence, and
Self-Reliance
One of the hallmarks of Falling Creek is the tripping program. Under experienced leadership, campers are able to choose from a variety of out of camp wilderness trips ranging in skill level from introductory to advanced, and from day trips to five day trips. On an average camp day, in addition to our regularly scheduled activities, 6 to 10 trips depart for various destinations in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
Caring for the Environment
“One of the most important lessons we can teach is to respect the environment.” Chuck McGrady, Director Emeritus,
former National President of the Sierra Club
A strong element of Falling Creek’s philosophy involves teaching boys to minimize their impact on the wilderness through the principles of Leave No Trace camping. Campers are taught to appreciate the outdoors and to leave the environment exactly as they found it.
