Arkansas, or as our lovable, imaginary character, Rocky the Raccoon, calls it, “Arky Land,” is an outdoor playground that's just waiting to be explored! Nestled in the heart of the United States, Arkansas is where mountains meet forests and rivers run wild. The state is filled with mystical caves, deep valleys, and towering cliffs, which, as Rocky would tell you, are perfect for rock climbing adventures! Now, let's talk about the little heroes of our story, the Arky Land kids who participate in rock climbing. These kids are not your everyday, run-of-the-mill youngsters, oh no! They are little explorers, fearless adventurers, and daredevil acrobats with hearts full of courage. They wake up with the sun, pull on their climbing gear with enthusiasm, and head out to the great outdoors, ready to conquer the tallest cliffs. Rocky often watches them from behind a tree, his eyes gleaming with admiration. He is perpetually amazed by their courage and determination. He once asked Little Timmy why he loves rock climbing so much. Timmy, with his helmet sitting slightly askew, looked at Rocky and said, "Rocky, when you're up there, you feel like you can touch the sky!" And so, with laughter echoing off the cliffs and the wind whistling their victory tunes, these little rock climbers of Arkansas - our brave Arky Landers, continue their adventures, one rock at a time. Rocky the Raccoon is always there, cheering them on, dreaming of the day he musters up enough courage to join them too. Because in Arky Land, the sky's the limit!

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!
