Falcons Prepare For Competition During the summer, one of the busiest places on campus is the weight room and athletic fields. Almost every sport offered at FWCD has a summer camp to train current and future Falcon athletes. The weight room was host to almost every high school athlete working hard to prepare for the upcoming athletic season. Several athletes were able to venture off campus and attend camps and clinics as well.
