Once upon a time, in the marvelous green land of Vermont, a jolly bunch of kids who loved water activities lived alongside a comical, imaginary character by the name of Splashy McPuddle. This was no ordinary place, Vermont, with its towering Green Mountains, verdant forests, and crystal-clear lakes, was nature's playground-- especially for kids who loved to splash around. Splashy, a jolly, oversized frog with a rainbow-colored umbrella, was the children's mentor and entertainer. He had an uncanny knack for making the simplest water activity an uproarious adventure. The kids were always eager to join him in his amusing escapades, whether it was paddling down the shimmering waters of Lake Champlain, making tip-top snow angels in the melting snow, or creating water-themed art on a drizzly day. These kids didn't just paddle canoes and kayaks, they rode imaginary water dragons, navigating through vast, watery mazes. Their swimming competitions were not mere races, they were underwater treasure hunts led by Splashy, where every stroke brought them closer to a chest of gold pebbles. Rainy days were never gloomy; they were opportunities to join Splashy in a game of 'Puddle Jump', where each splash sent ripples of laughter echoing through the woods. In the heart of Vermont, these children had found a magical water kingdom of their own, where every droplet was full of joy and every wave a new story. With Splashy McPuddle leading the fun, every kid was a water adventurer, each day a new chapter in their book of gurgling giggles and splashing smiles. It was indeed, a place where the beauty of nature and the spirit of childhood ran wild and free alongside the sparkling rivers and gleaming lakes.

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.
