Deep within the heart of the magical land of New Jersey, nestled between towering skyscrapers and bustling highways, lay shimmering lakes and whispering rivers, brimming with frolicsome fish. This realm, though compact, was bursting with life and colors of all varieties. Amidst this enchanting landscape, you'd find an equally magical group of children - the Junior Jovial Anglers of Jersey! These weren’t your ordinary, run-of-the-mill kids. Oh, no! They were adventurers, explorers, treasure seekers! Equipped with their fishing rods, like knights with their swords, they embarked on quests to coax the fish from the depths of the waters and conquer the marine world. With wiggly worms for bait and a whole lot of patience, these young heroes would stand proudly by the water, their eyes sparkling with anticipation. The leader of this merry band was a charmingly eccentric chap named Captain Cackle, a retired pirate with a hearty laugh that echoed across the waters. With a wooden leg that was actually an oversized fishing rod, a hook hand that was superb for baiting lines, and a parrot sidekick named Chuckles who loved snacking on fish food, he was quite the sight! Captain Cackle would rally his troops with a hearty "Argh, me hearties! Reel in the fun!", transforming the peaceful lakes into a playground of laughter and adventure. And even when the fish were feeling rather shy, these children never got bored. After all, every mysterious tug at their lines might just be the next big catch! So you see, New Jersey wasn't just about bustling cities and chatty suburban towns. For the Junior Jovial Anglers of Jersey, it was a place of endless fun and a treasure trove of fishy tales. And if you ever find yourself in this tiny, yet lively state, don't be surprised if you hear a distant "Argh" echoing through the air - it's just Captain Cackle and his band of adventurers, reeling in another round of fun!

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.
