Cabins will have up to 7 campers.

We place campers with peers of a similar age. We try to honor cabin requests as long as it is mutual.

Our camp’s capacity is about 100 campers per week. However, most campers experience camp within their age program. Campers can expect to be in large group settings with up to 50 boys their age. They will experience various skill activities in smaller groups of about 8 to 16.

Campers are age 6-16. The youngest age group is called Tree Climbers, which is a three-day Father & Son program for boys ages 6 through 8. At age 8, campers can attend a full week of Stockade camp. Then, at age 12, campers move to our Battalion camp, which goes up until the age of 16. At age 14, many of our campers opt in for one of our trips or participate in our leadership programs, CORE Training, and Service Crew.

We maintain a ratio of at least 2 counselors for every 8 campers.

Camp is a device-free zone. Campers engage with the people and world around them by unplugging from electronic distractions. This allows for healthy and rapid growth.

We offer dozens of activities for your son to participate in, including Rock Climbing, Rifle Shooting, Archery, Woodworking, Sailing, Fishing, and more. Read more about our camp activities.

We seek staff members who are passionate about serving Christ, love the outdoors, and are excited about youth development. Many of our staff start out as Northern Frontier campers, while others are invited by our current staff and alumni. Each staff member completes an application process, is interviewed, has reference and background checks completed, and then attends staff training at camp.

Northern Frontier holds itself to the highest health and safety standards for summer camps. Our camp is accredited by the American Camp Association, which confirms that we comply with their standards of professional practice in all areas of operation, including facilities, health and safety, food service, staffing, and programs.

We celebrate every birthday at camp. At dinner time on your son’s special day, the entire dining hall will sing the traditional birthday song while he blows out the candles on his ice cream sundae!

We have a wide variety of balanced meals that encourage our campers to try new things while also maintaining a baseline of familiarity. Breakfast can include eggs, sausage, pancakes, fruit, and cereal. Lunch and dinner may include chicken, pasta, sandwiches, fish, mashed potatoes and vegetables.

Our kitchen crew can accommodate dietary needs. Any food allergies should be discussed before your son’s arrival to ensure that we can accommodate your son’s needs. Please contact our Food Service Coordinator, Kelly Studley, if you have specific questions.

Yes, we offer both discounts and scholarships. Discounts may change year to year, but most families find they are eligible for some savings.

We proudly provide camper scholarships to those who demonstrate financial need. Please get in touch with our registrar, Kelly Studley, directly for more information about scholarships.

Camp Cedarbrook in the Adirondacks is a short distance from our camp and offers a quality camping experience for girls who share our values.
