In the faraway land of Alaska, also known as AK, where snow-capped mountains touch the sky, and wild salmon jump high upstream, live some of the bravest kids you've ever met. They're not just any kids; they're the AK Fieldtripsters! These kids zip up their parkas, tie their snow boots tight, and head out on the most incredible field trips your imagination could cook up. With their fearless leader, Captain CoolMoose, a talking Alaskan moose with sunglasses and a snowboard, they explore the vast wilderness, learn about native tribes, and even pan for gold. Captain CoolMoose has a map, but he never plans the route. Why? Because in AK, the journey is the destination, and boy, what a journey it is! One day they might be ice-fishing on the frozen lakes, the next they could be dog-sledding across the tundra. They've even been known to have snowball fights with cheeky puffins! The AK Fieldtripsters are a hardy bunch. They've got bear-sized courage in their hearts, glacier-cold water in their veins, and a curiosity as wide as the Alaskan wilderness. They laugh in the face of blizzards, high-five grizzlies (well, not really, but it sounds cool, right?), and make snow angels without even getting cold. In AK, they say the Northern Lights are the fireworks of the wild. As our AK Fieldtripsters gaze upwards, their eyes sparkling like the stars above, Captain CoolMoose grins, his antlers glowing in the night. "Field trip's not over, kiddos," he says, "We've got a whole lot more of Alaska to explore. Now, who's up for a midnight moose ride?"

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.
