Now, through a relationship with Clemson’s Youth Learning Institute (YLI) and The Scott Hannon Memorial Foundation, Camp Hannon has a home at Pinnacle Falls. The property boasts an 80-acre nature wonderland in northern Pickens County, donated to Clemson by Jim Anthony, CEO and founder of The Cliffs Communities and its nonprofit foundation, Pinnacle Partners.


The Scott Hannon Memorial Foundation brightens the lives of hundreds of children across the Carolinas each year by raising funds to support youth programs. Established to honor the memory of a compassionate young man, the foundation set out to find a site for their vision of serving thousands more needy children by providing a positive camp experience – Camp Hannon.
