Deep in the southern part of the United States, there exists an enchanting land known as Alabama, or AL as the locals affectionately call it. It’s a magical place where kids transform into adventurous explorers, venturing into the wilderness and hiking through the lush forests, the mountains touching the clouds, and the sparkling rivers that seem to be whispering secrets of the earth. These are no ordinary kids, oh no, they are brave Alabaman Adventurers! They exchange their video games, smartphones, and TV shows for hiking boots, water bottles, and big floppy hats. Their guide, a jolly, imaginary character named Bama Bear is not only the protector of Alabama forests but also the world's funniest bear. With his belly full of honey, fur as soft as a marshmallow, and a laughter that sounds like a zillion bees buzzing in harmony, Bama Bear makes every hike a memorable experience. Bama Bear would always say, “Why walk when you can hop, skip, or leap!” echoing through the Alabama forests, making the kids giggle. He’d have the kids laughing until their sides ached as he attempted to impersonate the twittering birds, the croaking frogs, or the squirrels nibbling on acorns. Bama Bear and the Alabaman Adventurers are not just hiking experts but also expert pranksters! They love to play hide and seek, with Bama Bear always hiding in the most predictable spots, pretending he's a tree or a giant mossy rock. The kids would roar with laughter as they find him every single time, making hiking in Alabama the funniest, most fantastic outdoor adventure ever! To join them, all you need is a good pair of boots and a spirit full of laughter!

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.
