New Frontiers Camp & Retreat Center
Private
New Frontiers is a Christian adventure camp on a 150-acre campus at 3939 Old Snow Hill Road in Dowelltown, running experiential programs for more than 25 years. Week-long summer sessions use adventure activities - a 1,000-foot double zipline, archery tag, an on-site cave and challenge elements - as the basis for session themes and discussion, and the organization also leads backpacking expeditions in the Colorado Rockies. It hosts custom retreats and sells its experiential curriculum year-round.

★★★★★Daniel WalkerWe hosted a leadership retreat during the winter off-season at New Frontiers, and it was excellent. The staff were professional, responsive and helpful - facilitating meaningful activities that exceeded expectations. If you are considering venues for an unplugged learning experience, New Frontiers is a great place to be. The upper level venues satisfied the needs of our experienced staff and facilitators while the base accommodations were nice for students. The activities were dynamic, fun, challenging and carried lessons throughout the program. Highly recommend!
★★★★★W KGod has used New Frontiers (The Nellists) to impact my and my families lives in an incredible way! I am so thankful for the grace, wisdom, knowledge and love they walk in. We have grown deeper in our relationship with God because of what we’ve learned here. The kids have a blast at their camps and homeschool days. They have grown in wisdom and knowledge. They KNOW and understand true grace. I’m so thankful for NF investing in our family! I pray God blesses NF back a thousand times over!
★★★★★CheraThis place changed my life. After going for a weekend I started seeing God in places I hadn't before. I realized that He was ever-present. I went back again and again, learning more every time. That was years ago. Now I have kids of my own, and I cannot wait until they are old enough to go and experience what God is doing at New Frontiers! I was up for a recent visit at their annual celebration, and they have such a wonderful staff there! And the food is amazing! :)
★★★★★Cynthia WallaceNew Frontiers has played a pivotal role in my life. No other place or people have contributed to my personal and spiritual growth in the same way or to the degree that New Frontiers has. I have encountered God in very real ways and developed friendships that have lasted decades. I can't wait for my kids to attend!
★★★★★JD SwilleyOne of the best decisions we've made was to take our youth group to NF. Our students came back more unified and passionate for the Lord. We LOVE New Frontiers!
