Deep within the heart of the kaleidoscopic enigma that is New Jersey, a state known for its scrumptious tomatoes, golden beaches, and the tantalizing scent of pizza that fills the air, a rather peculiar phenomenon unfurls. Whenever the sun is shining and the skies are colored with hues of happiness, you'll find a band of brave and fearless explorers embarking on an extraordinary adventure. They aren't hunting for hidden treasures or chasing after mythical creatures; instead, they are the gallant 'Jersey Navigators,' a group of kids who are as addicted to boating and canoeing as a squirrel is to acorns! Our chief navigator is none other than Captain Chuckles, a mythical sea creature with the body of a child and the spirit of a thousand laughing hyenas. Donning a straw hat, a polka-dot life vest, and a grin so wide it rivals the Hudson River, he guides his crew of water-loving wonder-kids across the shimmering lakes and rivers of New Jersey. With each dip of their oars in the cool, crisp water, giggles and laughter echo across the landscape, as if the trees themselves are joining in their merriment. Whether they are navigating the formidable Passaic River or braving the mighty waves of Lake Hopatcong, their adventurous spirit never wanes. On their journeys, they encounter rudely honking geese, befuddled turtles who seem to have misplaced their GPS, and fish that flip and flop in a display of aquatic acrobatics. Life for the Jersey Navigators is a never-ending carnival of fun and frolic on the water, a celebration of the spirit of adventure, and a testament to the wild and wonderful world of boating and canoeing in the beautiful state of New Jersey.

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.
At Johnsonburg, your child can expect all the fun of a traditional summer camp – from arts and crafts to swimming and sports – combined with a unique, enriching experience. With a range of activities and outdoor adventures, our campers will make memories that will last a lifetime. Our experienced counselors provide a safe and nurturing environment, giving campers the opportunity to explore, push their boundaries and grow their confidence. From the moment they arrive, our campers will feel the excitement and camaraderie that makes Johnsonburg one of the best summer camps in New Jersey.
