In the great state of Arkansas, nestled comfortably among the mighty Ozarks, a group of spirited kids embarked on a legendary pastime known as Gaga Ball. Rather than a boring, old, typical state, Arkansas was a magical playground, where magnificent catfish whispered secrets in the Mississippi River, the hot springs held the warmth of a thousand suns, and the diamond mines could turn any dirt-covered rock into a treasure. Enter our cool imaginary character, Boomer the Flying Squirrel. With his aviator goggles, leather bomber jacket, and a saucy sense of humor, Boomer was the unofficial mascot of these Gaga Ball enthusiasts. His tail was a blend of silver and brown, and his laugh, a combination of a hiccup and a sneeze, made everyone roll with giggles. Boomer would announce, "Ladies, gentlemen, and armadillos, the Gaga Ball Championships is about to commence!" Then, he would do a somersault in the air while the excited kids would run towards the Gaga pit. They were not ordinary kids, oh no. They were the Gaga Gladiators of Arkansas, each armed with enthusiasm, agility, and a thirst for fun. They'd duck, dive, and dart, making sure the ball didn't touch them, their laughter echoing through the mountains. Boomer, the Flying Squirrel, would hover above the pit, giving cheeky commentary like, "Billy, you move slower than a snail on vacation!" or "Watch out, Jenny! That ball is faster than a greased lightning bug!" And though he was just a squirrel, Boomer's spirit was as grand as Arkansas itself, making Gaga Ball not just a game, but an unforgettable adventure.

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.
