Northern Frontier Camp

Dawn of Faith

Light creeps over the mountains and into the sky daily, warming the misty morning over Camp. The dawn fills the clouds with life, and hues of pink, orange, and red thunder dusk into day, a magnificent reminder of God’s artistry. As Psalm 19:1 proclaims, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the […]

Getting Uplugged

According to my quick rough math, our campers live without screen time for 168 hours from when they are dropped off. Our two-weekers are looking at about 336 hours screen-free. In this screen-free time, they’ve been living days full of new activities, forging new friendships, and strengthening old ones. Each night, meaningful conversations unfold during […]

Conections That Count

It’s heartwarming to witness the bonds strengthening between staff and campers in every corner of camp. Whether it’s the first encounter or a reunion, time holds no sway at Northern Frontier when it comes to forging meaningful connections. Despite their brief stay, these boys find a home away from home where friendships flourish effortlessly. Northern […]

Adventure Awaits

The sun barely peaks over the horizon, casting its golden hues over the Adirondack mountains as the sounds of Northern Frontier stir to life. The campers, filled with boundless energy and anticipation, had no idea how swiftly time had flown. The days felt long, but the week? It vanishes in the blink of an eye. […]

When It Rains… We Get Wet!

Most of our weeks at Northern Frontier feature sunny skies and hot afternoons. Yet, one element can come and go: the refreshing touch of rain. As we journey through life, we often enjoy the sunny days but must also embrace the storms that come our way. Just as the Bible reminds us in Ecclesiastes 3:1, […]

Program Directors Summer ’24

Each summer, we bring on two administrative staff members to fill key roles. These men are charged with the task of supervising one of two divisions, Stockade and Battalion. We call their positions “Program Directors,” but that only begins to describe their responsibilities. Not only do they work through the day-to-day planning of the program […]

Want to Go Sailing?

Sailing has been one of my all-time favorite things to do at Northern Frontier. As newlyweds, my wife and I worked for camp, and the one experience I was most excited to share with her was to float down OK slip in a Sunfish sailboat. It can be a time of peaceful serenity–or thrilling excitement […]

Lost in the Woods

One of the many skills we teach at camp is how not to get lost in the woods. As a remote wilderness camp, losing your way can be a challenging experience for campers and counselors alike. We supply maps and radios, but the best way to ensure you know where you’re going is always to […]

A summer at Northern Frontier is packed with fun adventures, exploration, and discovery. Whether as a camper, or staff member, young men will be challenged to grow spiritually and physically during their stay. For many, time at camp is like summitting a high peak. It tests you, but the view from the top of the […]
