In the colorful state of North Carolina, where the blueberries are bouncier, the cats can play the banjo, and the trees whisper goodnight to the moon, an extraordinary thing happens. Every Saturday, right when the morning sun starts to play hide and seek with the fluffy clouds, a group of curious kids gather to dive into an adventure of pottery-making. Now, these aren't your ordinary kiddos, oh no! These are the Mud Munchkins of NC, a league of little hands creating big dreams. Our story starts with a delightful chap named Clumpy. Now, Clumpy isn't your average boy. He's a charming, giggly, and freckle-faced, clay-eating gnome, who's only taller than a stack of 32 pancakes (and yes, he’s counted!). He's got bright red hair that stands on end like a startled porcupine and a pair of twinkling eyes that hide a world of mischief. Clumpy is the Mud Munchkins' leader, their guide in this messy, but exhilarating journey of pottery-making. Every Saturday, Clumpy and the Mud Munchkins huddle around a magical potter's wheel, where a glob of gray clay transforms into a masterpiece under their tiny fingers. They mold, spin, and shape, giggling as the mud splashes their faces, turning them into mud monsters! There are flying pirates’ ships, towering princess castles, and even a snoring dragon with a lopsided smile. But the coolest part, you ask? Well, once their creations are baked under the midday sun, they don't just become pottery. Oh no! They become real! At least, that's what Clumpy says, whispering in each Mud Munchkin's ear. And when you're in North Carolina, where the sun smiles a little brighter and the wind sings lullabies, who's to say it isn't true?

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.
