There are places on this earth that feel closer to heaven, not merely because they are remote or beautiful, but because something sacred has happened there. Something lasting and touched by God. Northern Frontier Camp is one of those places. Tucked deep in the Adirondack Mountains, where mist drifts early over OK Slip Pond, and the […]
This summer, we are again so excited to minister to the boys that come to Northern Frontier Camp! We want to see more boys come to NF to share God’s love and the good news of Gospel, take them on adventures, foster lifelong friendships, and ignite a spark to set their hearts on fire to […]
When people ask me why I drive over 13 hours from North Carolina to go to Northern Frontier when there are other camps much closer to home, I explain to them the impact that Northern Frontier has had on me. I wouldn’t be who I am today without Northern Frontier. This special place provided me […]
Last fall, I became the mom of not one, but two college students! When we sent our oldest off to Houghton almost four years ago, it was a new level for me of surrendering “control” (or rather my perceived control) of her life. This past fall, we sent our son off to Gordon, and once […]
This summer brought us unforgettable stories of growth, faith, and transformation—moments that speak to the core of our mission: developing boys, men, and their fathers into Godly leaders through wilderness experiences. One camper displayed a remarkable maturity that influenced his whole cabin. During Bible Exploration, he spoke about his hope to share his faith back […]
Psalm 119:9-16How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. I seek you with all myheart; do not let me stray from your commands.

I spent this past summer at Northern Frontier primarily washing dishes and mopping floors alongside a team of 14–16-year-old boys. It was awesome. Looking back at the summer, I think trusting the Lord’s timing on big and small scales was a consistent theme throughout my experience as NF’s service crew chief. When I applied for […]
Big Bad Luck brings many fond memories for me. I have been there many times fishing with staff, my friends, and on my own. I also visited when bringing a camper out to his cabin, checking in on a cabin for their overnight, doing trail work, co-leading a fishing trip, hiking with staff, and taking […]
I love names! When our kids were born, we spent hours pouring through name books, checking all the meanings before deciding on each name. My name, “Kelly,” is an Irish name meaning “war, warrior maiden, bold,”… and from the time I could walk and talk, I have embraced that meaning! While that has served me […]
My first experience at Northern Frontier was being dropped off by my parents at the age of 17 for a summer of being a junior counselor. Never having been a camper, I wondered what I was getting myself into as we made our way down the camp road. The summer seemed long and stretched me […]
