Alabama, the Cotton State, is a magical land found smack-dab in the southern heart of America. It's like a secret garden, with its towering oak trees, whispering willows, and hummingbird-filled honeysuckle bushes. But the most mystical part of Alabama is its glistening, fish-filled waters. The place is bubbling with rivers, lakes, and ponds, making it the perfect place for a little angling! Now, if you take a closer look, you'll find a group of Alabama kids, known as the "Fish-Whisperers". This isn't your ordinary gang of youngsters, oh no! These kids are professional fish-catchers, skilled in the ancient art of fishing. They can summon fish with a mere flick of their wrists and a wiggle of their fingers. Their secret? They speak the fish language! Leading the Fish-Whisperers is Captain Bubbles, an 11-year-old with a beard made entirely of water bubbles. He's a legend amongst fishes; some say he was raised by a school of bass! He wears a hat woven from seaweed, and his fishing line is a rainbow-colored snake named Slither. When Captain Bubbles and Slither cast their line, every fish in Alabama trembles with excitement, lining up to be the chosen one. The most amusing part is when they get a bite. The kids dance a 'fish jig', jiggling and wiggling, just like the fish at the end of the line. It's a sight to behold! However, here's the twist. The Fish-Whisperers, led by their great Captain Bubbles, always release their fishy friends back into the water. Why, you ask? Well, they're in it for the tales, not the tails! Their fishing adventures are all about the thrill of the chase, the whoops of joy, and the splashes of laughter. In Alabama, it's always a reel good time!

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.
At camp, boys come together for an experience of camaraderie and learning, as they work and play side by side. Freed from the fear of failing, they can explore and try new activities, discovering special talents and interests they never knew they had. Whether they’re competing in a tribe challenge, going on an overnight camp trip, or playing a game of spy in the dark, boys are encouraged to cooperate, follow, and lead, while learning more about themselves and others. Camp is a time of adventure, creativity, and excitement, as boys learn by doing and build strong friendships. With the support and encouragement of their fellow campers, they can take risks and gain new skills, while having a great time. After a summer at camp, boys return home with a better understanding of themselves and a newfound appreciation for others.
