★★★★★Melissa PerryMy son loved being a lifeguard an junior camp counselor at Northern Frontier. He grew in leadership skills, confidence, and his faith. The leadership and Christ-centered community here is incredible! The memories and lessons that the boys and young men create here leave a lasting impact. If you are thinking about sending you son here I highly recommend that you do.
★★★★★Julie SpanaMy 2 sons went here. What a great experience for the boys to grow into men. They had fun in a safe place. They can't wait to go back next year. The staff is generous and kind. The food was great, I couldn't believe it, I got the opportunity to eat 1 night, was very surprised!
★★★★★Matthew BakerA spot you (or your son) will never forget. NF has programs for boys (and dads!) of all ages and interests, but don’t let the ruggedness scare you - there are few places more welcoming or peaceful. Connect with God thru pristine nature and a whole lot of good clean fun! And between the buses and scholarships, anyone can find a way to attend.
★★★★★Greg PrairieNorthern frontier is an amazing Christ centered boys wilderness camp. I just got back from the 4 day father son program called tree climbers. What a special time getting to bond with son!
★★★★★Elias PintoTimeless strong bible based camp focused solely on building up the qualities and skills for young men to live out their lives to the fullest and fulfilling God's plan for them. Pristine Adirondack woods surround a private lake. Incredible people.
