In the frosty, far-off state of AK, also known as Alaska, where yetis are rumored to play poker and moose take up salsa dancing, a group of kids embark on a thrilling venture - archery. These snowy, sprightly young folks, fondly named the Chilly Arrows, are the brave bowmen and women of the icy lands. They launch arrows through frosty winds, their stripy woolen hats and colorful snow-suits shimmering under the Aurora Borealis. Their leader, Wacky Whiskers, a playful white arctic fox, stands tall wearing a monocle and a top hat, his bushy tail swishing in delight. Wacky Whiskers, despite his batting eyelashes and a constant giggle, has a hawk-eye, sharper than the pointy icicles hanging from the roofs. He sets the targets, always landing one on a funny snowman's carrot nose or sometimes on a grumpy walrus's big, bulky tusks, making everyone laugh. These young archers of Alaska, the Chilly Arrows, are as sharp as the ice shards and as brave as the polar bears. They know the importance of precision, patience and the art of making the best hot chocolate afterward. With frosty faces but fiery determination, they make every odd and even weather condition their ally. So, remember, if you ever decide to visit this winter wonderland, make sure you are ready for some playful arrow action and of course, Wacky Whiskers's mischievous laughter echoing in the icy wilderness.

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.
Located in Wasilla, Alaska, LaVerne Griffin Camp is blessed to be situated on 58 acres next to the 125 acre Kalmbach Lake.

LaVerne Griffin Camp is overseen by the Chugach Baptist Association and is supported by the Alaska Baptist Convention, which shares similar beliefs and doctrine with the camp.
