Once upon a time, in the sunny state of South Carolina, sat on the southern coast of the United States, where palmettos sway in the sea breeze and the smell of magnolia blossoms fills the air, there was a tribe of kids unlike any other. They were the Drama Kings and Queens of SC, thespians of the first order, and they were as varied and colorful as a bag of skittles! You see, South Carolina isn't just about sweet tea, juicy peaches, and basketball. It's also a place where imagination runs wild, and dreams come to life on the stage. It's a place where kids don a suit of armor to battle dragons, fly on magic carpets, or transform into superheroes saving the world, all before lunchtime! Meet our friend, Snortlepop McFizzlepants. Yes, you read that right! He’s the friendliest three-headed alien you'll ever meet, and he's the wackiest, wildest, most whizz-bangingly enthusiastic drama coach this side of the Mississippi. Snortlepop, with his six eyes, and three mouths, helps these talented youngsters to channel their excitement and boundless energy into amazing performances. Now, let's not forget, these SC kids are as unique as Snortlepop himself! There's Billy, who can mimic any accent from French to Martian, and Susie, who can cry on cue when she loses her imaginary pet dragon. Then there's little Timmy, who might be shy off-stage, but becomes a roaring lion when the spotlight hits him. Together, they form the spectacular troupe, 'The Palmetto Players,' known far and wide for their tremendous talent and theatrical thrills. So, if you ever find yourself in the charming state of South Carolina, be sure to check them out. You may even meet our dear Snortlepop McFizzlepants, just don't forget to bring him his favorite snack - buttered popcorn jelly beans!

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.
At CCJ Conservatory, we are nationally recognized for excellence in dance education. Our classes and performances are proudly supported by the South Carolina Arts Commission, which is funded by the National Endowment of the Arts. Our studio is conveniently located on Highway 378 between Lexington and Columbia, S.C. We know that the first dance class your child takes is the most important, and we strive to provide a fun and safe experience that offers a strong foundation in technique and terminology. Our goal is to foster self confidence, discipline, and a sense of community in our young dancers. We believe that these skills will have a positive impact on other aspects of their lives, even if they don't continue dancing for an extended period.
