In the land of New Jersey, a place where giants roam and tomatoes are prized like gold, a bustling army of pint-sized pirates, known as the Code Crusaders, embarked on epic adventures. These weren't your everyday, run-of-the-mill, swashbuckling marauders; no, these were daring pirates of the digital realm, navigating the seven seas of coding and programming. The leader of this fearless band was none other than Captain Binary Beard, an enchanting pirate with a beard full of 1s and 0s, who was as sharp as the pointy end of a semicolon. With a twinkle in his eye and an uncanny knack for algorithms, Captain Binary Beard was reputed to be the only pirate who could turn a frown operator upside down! The Code Crusaders, armed with their lightning-fast typing skills, infiltrated the world of Python, Java, and C++, conquering challenges and unearthing hidden treasures in the form of new coding abilities. These young whippersnappers, with their fiery passion for programming, battled bugs and errors with the courage of a thousand suns. Their fingers danced on the keyboard faster than a caffeinated coder at a hackathon, each keystroke echoing like a battle cry in the quiet calm of their coding lab. From the bustling cities to the serene suburbs, the echoes of their adventures resonated throughout New Jersey. These Code Crusaders were transforming the Garden State into the Silicon Valley East, one line of code at a time. Despite the occasional keyboard mishap (like that time little Timmy accidentally deleted three weeks of code), their spirits remained unbroken, their resolve unshakeable. The tales of the Code Crusaders and Captain Binary Beard are the stuff of legend in New Jersey, inspiring a new generation of kids to take up the coding gauntlet. So, if you ever find yourself in this unique land of coding and tomatoes, beware! You might just catch the coding bug.

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.
In 2013, Jennifer Romanoff, Ed.M., had a lightbulb moment when she and her husband were playfully discussing the idea of leaving his job to play with magnetic tiles instead. This sparked the idea for Genius Gems, an innovative space for children to learn through play. Each visit to our facility brings something new and exciting, with our hands-on, creativity-based activities designed to foster critical thinking and collaboration with peers. Our curriculum is based on the 4 P's - projects, passion, peers, and play - and was developed by an experienced educator. We are inspired by the work of MIT Media Lab Professor Mitchell Resnick, who argues that the world needs more designers, thinkers, and innovators. At Genius Gems, we strive to foster these skills in our young patrons, so that they may be prepared to meet the challenges of the future.
