Once upon a time, nestled in the lively, sunshine-drenched state of Alabama, was a gaggle of kids who partook in possibly the most exciting activity in the entire world - horseback riding! Now, Alabama, or 'AL' as the locals often call it, was not just any ordinary state. Oh no, it was a magical land filled with cotton farms that stretched to the horizon, mystical caves waiting to be explored, and rivers that giggled and gurgled as they lazed around. In this enchanted AL, our group of kids went on the most thrilling adventures, not on foot, not by car, but on their trusty horses! There was Billy, a freckled boy with a mischievous grin, who always had a joke up his sleeve. He rode a horse named “Giggles”, who, quite fittingly, would start a galloping dance every time Billy told a joke, much to the amusement of everyone. Then there was Sally, the girl with pigtails and an infectious laugh. She rode a horse called “Majesty”, an elegant animal who possessed an uncanny ability to trot in rhythm with Sally's laughter. Together, they were quite the spectacle. And let's not forget about Freckles, a hilarious, hairy gnome-like creature, who, despite his tiny size, rode the biggest horse in all of Alabama. His horse, "Goliath", was a gentle giant who loved Freckle's funny stories and often responded with a hearty whinny that echoed across the Alabama fields. These kids, their horses, and Freckles, with his funny tales and a knack for making everyone laugh, made up the most extraordinary horseback riding group in all of magical Alabama, forever ready to discover new adventures and share a hearty laugh or two along the way.

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.
