child enrichment programs in Airmont, NY

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.

This is the story of Mike, a second-generation camp director who has been involved in day camp since he was a child. Mike's dream was to one day become a camp director and, after finishing college, he started working alongside his dad for 12 years. Then he met Michele at camp and was ready to take over the camp from his father – but his dad had no intention to retire any time soon. Mike's childhood dream of becoming a camp director finally became reality when his dad eventually retired 23 years later. He was ready to take over the camp but, due to the delay, had to find a camp of his own. This is an inspiring story of a man who never gave up on his dream. Mike's determination to become a camp director despite the unexpected delay of his father's retirement is a testament to his resilience and passion.
