Once upon a time, in the awesome state of AR, also known as Arkansas, there was a group of amazing kids who participated in Judo, a martial art of flips and grips! Arkansas was a fascinating place, full of dense forests, towering mountains, and sparkling rivers, where the air smelled like pine needles and freshly baked apple pies. Our Judo kids, fondly named "The Judo Jesters," were not your ordinary kids. Oh no! They were super cool, with a dash of wacky, just like their mascot – a grinning armadillo named "Slammin' Sammy." Slammin' Sammy, with his armored shell and swift moves, was the ultimate Judo master. He had learned his moves from an old ninja hedgehog and was now teaching the Judo Jesters. Sammy was a bundle of energy, always flipping and rolling, and always with a funny quip that made everyone laugh. He would say things like, "Remember, kids, the secret to Judo is to stay as flexible as a noodle and as steady as a meatball!" The kids loved Sammy and his hilarious ways. They would gather, every afternoon, by the banks of the mighty Mississippi, where Sammy would demonstrate the art of judo. With a funny flick of his tail, he would send pebbles flying, imitating how they should flip opponents. They would practice their moves, their laughter echoing through the forest. The Judo Jesters of Arkansas were not just kids learning judo; they were a team, a family, bound together by their love for this martial art and their quirky armadillo coach. They were proof that in the wild and wonderful state of Arkansas, even judo could be a barrel of laughs!

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.
