In the marvelous state of New York, a place famous for its skyscrapers, pizza, and astonishing Central Park, there exists a group of extraordinary kids, known as the Sportsfield Sock Monkeys. These aren't your average youngsters, oh no! Each one is imbued with a unique 'Sportsfield Spark', a magical force making them exceptionally skilled at every sport known to humankind, and a few unknown ones too! The leader of the pack is a quick-witted, freckle-faced munchkin named Sammy. Sammy, the Sportosaurus, as he's fondly known amongst the group, can dribble a basketball whilst dancing ballet and solving algebra. You think that’s impressive? On Tuesdays, he does all that while flipping pancakes! Then there's Lucy, the Lacrosse Lynx, who can swing her lacrosse stick so fast that it creates a mini tornado! She once accidentally swept up the school janitor. Don't worry, he had a smooth landing, right into a soft pile of leaves. He still talks about his thrilling flight over the soccer field. And we can’t forget Billy, the Baseball Badger. Billy can spin his baseball cap so fast, he can create a human-sized cotton candy! Funny thing is, he doesn’t even like cotton candy, he’s more of a hot dog guy. In New York state's world of Sportsfield, anything is possible, and every game is a new adventure. Whether they’re swinging from the monkey bars or doing cartwheels on the soccer field, these kids never fail to embody the fun and wonder of their magical sports world. So, grab your helmet, your knee-pads, or even your ballet slippers, and join the Sportsfield Sock Monkeys for an athletic adventure you won't forget!

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.
At Camp Olmsted, our goal is to give children and families from disadvantaged backgrounds the chance to experience the joys of outdoor camping. This mission dates back to the early 1900’s and has been extended to include immigrant families too. In the 1960’s, the United Methodist City Society opened the United Methodist Camp Service, which allowed children and families from low-income neighborhoods in NYC to attend camp and offered support throughout the summer camp registration process. More recently, in 1997, the United Methodist City Society took ownership of Camp Olmsted and, along with registration for Camp Olmsted, children were given the chance to register for the Fresh Air Fund. This service has enabled countless underserved communities to experience the magic of camping.
