In the farthest northwestern corner of the United States, tucked away in a magical realm of snow-capped mountains, glittering glaciers, and mystical aurorae, you'll find the grand state of Alaska—also known as AK to those in the know. It's a place where the wildlife outnumbers the humans, and the word 'adventure' takes on a whole new meaning. In this fantastical land, brimming with untamed wilderness and endless enchantment, you'll find a hearty crew of boisterous boating and canoeing enthusiasts. These aren't your everyday, run-of-the-mill kiddos, oh no! These are the Alaskan Aquanauts, a gang of audacious young adventurers, led by none other than their fearless, flipper-footed captain, Admiral Walrus Whiskers. Admiral Walrus Whiskers, with his enormous tusks, bushy mustache, and fancy captain's hat, guides the Aquanauts through Alaska's icy waters on epic canoeing adventures. He's a walrus of few words, but with a snort, a wink, or a twirl of his mustache, he communicates everything he needs to. The Aquanauts, all sprightly and spry, are ever-ready to jump into their canoes at a moment's notice. They paddle through pristine rivers, around icebergs, and across mystical fjords under the shimmering northern lights. With critters like moose and bears watching from the shore, their laughter echoes across the landscape, a merry testament to their camaraderie and love for adventure. But don't be fooled, there's more to these kids than their jovial spirits. They're also champions of the environment, protectors of the wilderness, and friends to the local wildlife. Each boating trip is an opportunity for them to learn, to explore, and to deepen their bond with the remarkable Alaskan wilderness they call home. After all, the Aquanauts believe that the best way to respect nature is to experience it firsthand—and have a whale of a time while they're at it!

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.
