Maggie
Girls Counselor
Hi everyone! My name is Maggie and I am from Louisville, Kentucky. In the fall, I will begin my senior year at the University of Kentucky studying social work. Upon graduating in May of 2024, I will be working with Child Protective Services, but I hope to continue my education to become a pediatric psychotherapist. Outside of school, I enjoy staying active and being outdoors, so the camp environment is the perfect place for me. I am most excited about the challenge courses, everything involving water, sports, field games, and most importantly, having a spectacular summer. Having grown up in Kentucky, I'm looking forward to spending my summer in Florida. It will not only be pleasant to have consistent weather (unlike Kentucky), but to spend some time away from technology and school. I am counting down the days until I meet everyone!

Stephen
Junior Boys Life Director
I am a 32 year old 10yr AirForce medically retired veteran with a bad back but I never let that stop or slow me down. My name is Stephen but some call me Granpda Steve, Uncle Steve, OldMan Steve or Scuba Steve. This will be my 2nd year at Frontier and so excited to come back for another awesome summer. Last year I was the Asst. Program Director but was so more involved with the kids that this year I'll be Life Director for the Jr Boys as well as a counselor this time. I coach a U10 youth soccer team so you'll more than likely find me on the soccer field or basically anywhere outside. The pool, on the boat, paintball field, ropes course, photography and the slip and slide are some of my favorites. I get way to hype for prank week and like to pull pranks like a ninja. Master at hide and seek, pillow fights and building forts. I can't wait to see all the returning campers come back and meet all the new ones. It's going to be an awesome summer and I'm ready for all the early mornings to late nights soon to come. Go Blue Team!
