In the sunny state of California, a kaleidoscope of colorful cultures and outlandishly interesting individuals thrives under the bright blue sky. It's a land where palm trees reach as high as dreams and where there are more surfboards than umbrellas! From the sprawling sandy beaches on the coast to the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, there's an adventure around every corner. But do you know what California's true secret weapon is? It's the astounding, awesome, and oh-so-amazing kids who dwell here and love playing instruments! In every nook and cranny of this vast, vibrant state, you'll find a bunch of melodious maestros who love nothing more than to tickle the ivories, strum the strings, or bang the drums. In fact, it’s said that these Californian kids are taught to play 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' on the guitar before they even learn how to tie their shoelaces! Among these musically gifted kiddos is our hero, Tuba Timmy, a ten-year-old boy with curly hair, freckles, and a passion for playing the tuba bigger than the Grand Canyon. He's the coolest cat in California. How cool, you ask? Well, the word on the street is that he once played a note so low on his tuba that it shook the famous Hollywood sign! Whenever Timmy plays his shiny, larger-than-life tuba, it's like the whole of California is dancing to his tunes. The palm trees sway, the Pacific waves crash on the beaches in rhythm, and even the stars seem to twinkle a little brighter. Because in California, it doesn't matter whether you’re a wave-surfing seagull or a tuba-playing tyke, everyone’s got a part to play in this symphony of sun, sand, and sounds!

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.
