We’re looking forward to another fun summer at Camp Frontier! See ya at the pool!

Address: 5258 Bass Mountain Rd, Snow Camp, NC 27349

Tucked away in the scenic woods of southern Alamance County, our 25-yard outdoor pool is the perfect summer escape for families, kids, and adults alike. Whether you're looking to cool off, play, or relax — this is the spot.

Kids love it: Toddlers have their own 2-foot-deep play area designed just for them, while older kids dive for rings or take on classic games like “Sharks & Minnows” in the 11-foot deep end.

Adults aren’t left out: Swim laps, join the fun, or kick back on the pool deck and soak up the sun.

With vending machines and bathrooms conveniently located off the deck, everything you need is close by. Summer weekends just got better — grab your towel and join us at the Y pool!
