Falls Creek is about young people! Nestled in the heart of the Arbuckle Mountains of southern Oklahoma, Falls Creek has become the largest religious youth encampment in the world. More than 50,000 young people will attend its eight weeks of encampment every summer. What happens there is the work of God! Six thousand, five hundred and ninety-five young people made decisions for Christ at Falls Creek in 2012. Of that number, 2,469 young people made professions of faith and 1,277 others made decisions of special service. This is only the continuation to what God has been doing at Falls Creek since its beginning in the summer of 1917.
