A Message From Our CEO Dear Friend of Frost Valley, As each year passes, it is a gift to reflect on the many ways Frost Valley has evolved. Taking stock of our accomplishments and challenges is both thrilling and humbling—we have come so far, yet have much more to accomplish. This Annual Report is our opportunity to share our progress and goals for the future with our partners, alumni, friends, and other stakeholders. As you will see in the coming pages, 2025 has been full of good news, and I am deeply proud of what we have achieved together. Summer camp continues to grow in many different directions, and we are grateful to our donors who help make camp possible for those who otherwise could not afford it. Eighty-two percent of campers received either scholarship or tuition assistance through tiered pricing, equating to approximately $2,571 per camper. More than 3,000 campers attended our nine overnight camp programs, and over 1,000 attended our day camp programs. Our Kidney Camp program also continues to thrive thanks to the Ruth Gottscho Kidney Foundation and corporate partners like Sanofi. Through our partnership with Montefiore Children’s Hospital, we are expanding our programming to welcome campers with other chronic medical conditions. This spring, we created an exciting new campaign called ‘Frost Rally - Rally for the Valley.’ From Hoopla in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, and tie-dying in South
Jersey, to a virtual EVR meetup and my own bike ride around Manhattan, we kicked off this annual event with enthusiasm and raised over $30,000. Our YearRound staff also introduced engaging new weekends like Women’s Wellness, Legends and Labyrinth, and our inaugural Fall Fest! It was a wonderful day of fall activities, live music, food, games, and vendors, and we hope you can join us for 2026. Meanwhile, Team Building has become our fastest-growing program, increasing 43% as company retreats and staff workshops help participants communicate, lead, and be fully present in our community. Finally, I invite you to view our updated Strategic Plan on our website. We have taken this plan to heart, working hard to become more things to more people while becoming even more efficient and effective. Our Strategic Plan is not just a roadmap—it is a call on all of us to see Frost Valley as a cultural institution where young people find courage, families find peace, and communities discover shared purpose through nature, art, and recreation. There is so much to be excited about. Thank you for being a part of it, and I hope to see you soon in the Valley! Warmly, Riel Peerbooms
Riel Peerbooms Chief Executive Officer, Frost Valley YMCA

2025 ANNUAL REPORT
A Message From Our Chair My personal journey with Frost Valley began as a summer staffer in 1986 and has culminated in my current service as Chair of the Board. I am grateful that I am among those lucky enough to have the opportunity to walk one of the many paths this remarkable place offers for personal growth and connection. “More Paths, Greater Impact,” our theme for 2025, sums that up perfectly.
Yet, our greatest impact remains our commitment to accessibility. Through the generosity of our donors, we provided more than $1.7 million in financial assistance this year. Because of this, an astounding 82% of our summer overnight campers received discounts, ensuring that cost wasn’t a barrier to participation.
Two of my avocations are music and cooking. Thus, I was particularly thrilled to see Frost Valley expand in 2025 into the arts and culinary spaces. Our inaugural Fall Fest was a spectacular new event that filled the crisp autumn air with live music from local bands and offered fantastic regional food and crafts. The Castle arts programming expansion made remarkable progress, with the first art show planned for the spring of 2026. Both promise to provide wonderful opportunities for both our local communities and visiting guests.
As a former summer camp staff member, I am beyond proud to witness the continued success of MAC, our mainstreaming at camp program for kids with developmental disabilities, as well as our newly founded camp for children with medically necessitated care. Being welcoming and inclusive of all campers has always been the Frost Valley way, and it is amazing to watch these very special programs grow and thrive.
Professionally, I have had a long career in the corporate world. I have long hoped that Frost Valley could serve that community to a greater extent, and in 2025 we achieved an incredible 43% growth in our Team Building program. One of the key reasons for this growth: the successful introduction of modern programming like digital coaching and new Teaching Kitchens to corporate retreats.
As we roll out our new Strategic Plan, we are calling on our community to see Frost Valley as a true cultural institution. It is a place that brings people together across all lines of difference to share a common path: the path of caring, empathy and support. Thank you for walking these paths with us, and for ensuring that the Frost Valley spirit continues to thrive for generations to come.

Emilia’s Life-Changing Summer A PLACE TO BELONG Financial aid makes it possible for more children to experience the connection, confidence, and belonging that camp can provide. For 11-year-old Emilia, a SCOPE scholarship opened the door to a summer that her family describes as “a life changing opportunity.” An incredibly shy child who was slow to warm up, Emilia returned home “GLOWING,” wearing her Frost Valley T-shirt, smiling ear to ear, and already talking about coming back. Her mother shared, “I couldn’t help but feel like this was a life changing opportunity for her and for our family.” Stories like Emilia’s remind us why financial aid is so important: a scholarship is more than help with tuition. It is an opportunity for a child to discover what I couldn’t help but feel like this they are capable of was a life changing opportunity and find their place in for her and for our family. a community.

A Spectacular Autumn Tradition Begins FALL FEST 2025
A HEARTFELT THANK YOU
Our inaugural Fall Fest brought the community together under a canopy of peak autumn foliage for an unforgettable day of celebration. Designed as a family-friendly festival, the event seamlessly blended classic camp traditions with the vibrant culture of our region.
This milestone community event would not have been possible without the support of our partners. We extend our deepest gratitude to the following sponsors and community partners for bringing our first annual Fall Fest to life:
BOTTINI FUEL COLDWELL BANKER
Guests of all ages immersed themselves in outdoor adventures, from archery and crafts to apple cider pressing and interactive art. Local artist Shanice Figeroux inspired creativity with a collaborative UNITY mural and custom journal-making, while families enjoyed a bouncy castle and custom balloon creations. The festive energy resonated across the valley all day long, powered by live musical performances from Goodnight Gracie and Mekayla Rayne.

Remembering James C. Kellogg IV A LEGACY BUILT STRONG A decade has passed since James C. Kellogg IV left us on December 31, 2015. Ten years is time enough for perspective, and looking back now, we can fully appreciate the remarkable impact one man had on Frost Valley. Jim joined our Board of Trustees in an era when nonprofits struggled with constant reorganization and shifting priorities. What Frost Valley found in Jim was something rare: unwavering steadfastness and a thirty-year commitment to the organization’s mission. For fifteen of those thirty years, Jim served as Board President, succeeding Woody English. Together, these two leaders provided Frost Valley with a vision of continuity that transformed the organization. Their partnership marked the beginning of what many consider Frost Valley’s finest era.
Always looking problems and challenges straight on, Jim saw obstacles as opportunities.
Under Jim’s leadership, the organization flourished in multiple directions. The summer camp program solidified its roots and regained greatness, becoming the transformative experience countless young people needed. The environmental education program was created, allowing Frost Valley’s forests and streams to serve as year-round classrooms for schools throughout the region. The conference program rose to national prominence, matching the scale of only two or three other camps in America. Financial aid became a priority, ensuring that children from disadvantaged backgrounds could access camp. International partnerships were established, extending Frost Valley’s reach beyond borders. And most remarkably, disabled children were mainstreamed into camp without hesitation.
Jim simply refused to exclude anyone from what Frost Valley offered. Pictured above: Jim Kellogg Jr. with his father James C. Kellogg at Frost Valley’s 2009 Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

When a large fire threatened Frost Valley, Jim faced the crisis as he faced all obstacles: straight on. He provided the leadership for an efficient, never-look-back recovery, refusing to let disaster define the organization’s future.
2025 ANNUAL REPORT
Remembering James C. Kellogg IV Throughout it all, Jim embodied Frost Valley’s then two-word mission: “Build Strong.” He believed in investing in people: in staff, in campers, in the potential within every child. He established the annual staff awards, recognizing that Frost Valley’s greatest asset was its people. Kellogg Lodge stands today as a physical testament to his thirty years of service. In 2009, Jim was inducted into the Frost Valley Hall of Fame, honoring a volunteer leader whose commitment, vision, and quiet determination had made Frost Valley a beacon across the national landscape. The Kellogg family continues to honor Jim’s legacy, their ongoing support and involvement ensuring that his vision remains alive at Frost Valley.
Jim Kellogg’s legacy is not in any single building or program, but in a culture of excellence, inclusion, and possibility that continues to transform young lives every summer, exactly as he envisioned it.
