★★★★★Michael Carr

Best summer camp we've attended by far. My son and I are going back for our third (and final) week before he ages out next year. TONS of activities going on all the time, the staff keeps it light, upbeat and fun, modern and well-maintained buildings, great food. Unique activities like ATV, golf, and aviation that you won't find at other camps. Can't say enough good things!

PSR is a fun camp for scouts with a lot of merit badges. My son loves going to camp every year doing merit badges earning to eagle.

★★★★★Craig Bona

Beautiful camp, super well maintained. We got our trailer stuck and Dave from the maintenance staff was super friendly and helped get us out. Overall a wonderful experience and our troop will definitely be back!

Camp Frontier is a very well-maintained camp with excellent staff members despite the lack thereof. Most staff members and counselors are full of energy and are very friendly towards campers, while others are so passive aggressive you can’t help yourself from trying to avoid them. Other staff members have their priorities completely wrong, opting to show Scouts funny games on their laptops rather than teaching the 12 merit badge requirements every Scout is missing in the class. Upon arrival, we were forced to set up our military tents by ourselves, which are supposed to be set up for us by the staff BEFORE we arrive at the camp site. The food is a lot better than I imagined it would be, so that’s a plus. Slushies from the trading post are sub par. I wish they were Slush Puppy branded like every other Scout summer camp i’ve been to. The trading post scammed me by charging me $3.50 for every slushy refill (which are supposed to be $2.00). Vending machines around the entire camp are very convenient. A wide variety of merit badge opportunities and evening activities every night. Bathrooms and shower houses are about as clean as you’d expect from a camp. It was a fun week to spend here during the summer, but certain staff members, the problem with camp setup, and the trading post fiasco, along with other situations, brings my review down to 3 stars.

Great camp, went there with my troop for more than 5 years for summer camp. There is a great selection of merit badges to pick from and the camp is simple in a very elegant way. The food isn't the greatest but its a summer camp trying to feed 500+ campers every week on a budget so im not overly critical about that. Working on staff there was a blast and an experience of its own. Speaking from experience, the staff really do work hard and have overwhelmingly positive interactions with the campers. I would say that this camp is the place to go if your from a troop based in Ohio, Michigan, or Indiana.
