Summer Camp 2024
Frontier Farm & Wilderness offers campers a chance to experience life outdoors with their peers. Each camper is encouraged to participate in tasks that suit their interests, working independently and as part of a group to achieve goals.
With technology dominating kids’ attention at home and school, Frontier aims to give each camper a new perspective on the joy and value of experiencing — and protecting — our natural environment.
We also strive to help our campers develop new skills, interests, and self-confidence that will help them see their own potential to help build and maintain a healthy community.
