In the enchanting state of Maryland, where Old Bay seasoning falls like fairy dust and terrapins roam as freely as the Baltimore Orioles fly, there's a tribe of water wizards known as the Maryland Manta Rays. These aren't your ordinary kids. Oh no! These are the super-swimming, somersault-spouting, streamline-shooting superstars of the Atlantic. Waking up with the crack of dawn (just about the time when Mr. Moon says goodbye to Mrs. Sun), these kids dash to swimming pools dotted across the Chesapeake Bay like excited dolphins. Their leader? A quirky character known as 'Captain Crab Crawl.' Part human, part mythical sea creature, Captain Crab Crawl is an ex-Olympic swimmer with a chucklesome sense of humor, and a beard as wild as the Chesapeake Bay itself. With a hearty laugh and a twinkle in his eye, Captain Crab Crawl is a master of the backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle. He has webbed feet instead of toes, gills behind his ears, and a swimming cap that magically transforms into a crab shell at will. As he dives in, he shouts, "Remember, we're not just swimming, we're gliding over an underwater universe!" His humorous quips and imaginary tales about the mystical underwater world make every practice session feel like an adventurous journey through the sea. So, if you ever find yourself in the captivating state of Maryland, and hear a splash followed by a ripple of laughter, look closely. You might just spot a group of Maryland Manta Rays, led by the legendary Captain Crab Crawl, exploring the depths of their imaginations, one swimming stroke at a time!

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.
