Once upon a time, in the wildly wonderful state of Arkansas, famously known as AR, there lived a group of kids who were as wild and adventurous as the land itself. Oh, AR was no ordinary state, mind you! It was a treasure trove of misty mountains, mysterious caves, and rushing rivers that painted a picture straight out of a fantasy book. And our adventure-loving kids? They were no less than the feisty characters from your favorite story! Leading this troop was a charmingly goofy character named Fizzleberry Bushwhacker, or Fizz for short. Fizz was a sort of a walking, talking compass with a mop of curly hair, a freckled face, and a pair of eyes twinkling with mischief and excitement. He had an uncanny knack for finding the most thrilling trails and the hidden wonders of AR. Every weekend, Fizz and his band of merry hikers strapped on their brightly-colored boots, donned their explorer hats, and set out on a new adventure. Each hike was an epic tale of climbing towering peaks, discovering secret waterfalls, and sometimes even having comical encounters with curious creatures. They'd slip on mossy stones, get their laces tangled with playful squirrels, and even have hilarious races with hyperactive rabbits. Every twig, leaf, and stone had a story, and with Fizz leading the way, even the ordinary became extraordinary. These were not just hikes; they were roller-coaster rides of laughter, discovery, and camaraderie. Yes, in the heart of AR, amid the wilderness, grew the wildest, funniest, and most adventurous bunch of hikers to ever wander the woods, creating a story that was as enchanting as the state itself.

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.
Camp Osage and Camp Cherokee both offer scouts the opportunity to explore nature, take part in outdoor activities, and participate in various scout-specific programs. At Camp Osage, scouts can enjoy a large camp with program areas spread out and delicious food served in the dining hall. At Camp Cherokee, scouts can experience a smaller camp with all the program areas in sight of one another, as well as the ability to cook their own food provided by the commissary at their own site. Both camps provide scouts with a full program of activities to enjoy. So, no matter which one you choose, your scouts will be sure to have a great time!
