child enrichment programs near Tempe, AZ

For over 50 years, Frontier Camp has been dedicated to making disciples of Jesus by sharing God’s Word amidst the beauty of His creation. Since our founding in 1969, we’ve been licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services and are proudly accredited by the American Camping Association. We’re also a member of the Christian Camping and Conference Association. Our mission is to use Christian camping and outdoor recreation as a means to support local churches in fulfilling the Great Commission—evangelizing people of all ages and discipling believers toward deeper maturity in Christ. Frontier Camp offers a dual ministry: during the summer, we host a 10-week youth camp, and throughout the rest of the year, we serve as a retreat facility for churches and like-minded religious organizations. Whether through summer camps or retreats, our goal remains the same: to expose people to Christ and encourage their spiritual growth through His Word and by reflecting His character in everything we do. While we provide top-notch recreation and exciting programming, the heart of our camp is the spiritual impact, rooted in the truth of God’s inerrant Word.

Parents know that their children's time away from home and school matters. The Learning, Enrichment, and Play (LEAP) program offered by the Marana Unified School District provides supervised, secure learning and play experiences for children enrolled in pre-K through sixth grade. The LEAP sites are licensed facilities, located at each elementary school in the district, and provide a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for children to learn, play, and grow. For middle schoolers, the Teen Extended Day (TED) program offers academic enrichment tailored to their needs. With LEAP and TED, parents can feel confident that their children are in a secure environment, receiving the educational and enrichment opportunities they need.

At our dance school, we recognize that every dancer is different. We strive to create an environment that nurtures each dancer's individual potential. We understand that each dancer's journey is unique and that success is measured differently for everyone. We encourage each one of our dancers to find their own strengths and to develop them to their fullest potential. We are proud of our dancers' accomplishments and growth, both in the studio and on the competitive stage. Every year, we have the privilege of sending dozens of talented dancers to Regional, National, and World Championships. Our solo dancers and ceili teams have represented our school with grace and finesse on these stages. We could not be more proud of the successes and accomplishments that our dancers have achieved.

At The Dance Project, we believe that technique is the foundation for developing confident and skilled dancers, but that our training should go beyond just steps. We strive to foster key values such as discipline, friendship, teamwork, and healthy bodies and minds. We recognize that each and every one of our dancers has a unique journey, and we are here to provide them with the best possible dance education experience. We are proud to offer classes that are tailored to the different stages of our students’ development; from the basics of our kindergarten classes, to the more advanced training of our pre-professional dancers, to the pure joy of dancing for our adult classes. We strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment that encourages our students to reach their fullest potential while having fun. We take great pride in watching our students’ growth, and it is our pleasure to share this amazing journey with them and their families.
