An intensive leadership training program for high school students (graduates of ninth and tenth grade), ages 15 to 16. The program's trip leaders strive to instill in all participants a sense of personal responsibility through wilderness experiences in Northern New England and stewardship of Glen Brook's forested and farm landscape. Participants learn "hard skills" in several wilderness settings, coupled with instruction on the elements of effective leadership techniques. Each three-week session offers two extended wilderness trips: A multi-day canoe trip on New Hampshire's northern lakes or whitewater rivers. The session starts with each participant building his or her own wooden canoe paddle, which is then used on the subsequent trip; A multi-day backpacking trip in the mountains. Preparation focuses on understanding the importance of adequate gear, the imperative of clear communication, first aid basics, and basic leadership skills. In addition, Falcons typically go on day trips including rock climbing and rapelling, a day on a high ropes course, or exploring nearby parks and swimming holes. Between trips, participants spend time at Glen Brook in their own base camp, learning to cook, clean, and care for the camp's trail system -- blazing, clearing, and bridge-building --, while at the same time resting for and planning their next adventure. Days are filled with a balance of challenging adventure and quiet solitude. The Falcon Outdoor Leadership Program runs separately from the rest of the summer camp schedule, save the use of the health facility, the lake, and other natural areas. There is occasional overlap for special events, and the Falcons share dinners with the rest of camp in the dining hall.
