In the sun-kissed state of California, where palm trees sway to the beat of ocean waves and the mountains stand tall and mighty, there exists a special group of kids who are anything but ordinary. These are the 'Horseback Heroes', a troop of adventure-loving, horse-riding kids whose tales of fun and bravery would make even the mightiest cowboy tip his hat! Leading this pack of cowkids is a hilarious character who goes by the name of 'Cowboy Cal'. Cal, with his freckled face, sun-bleached hair, and twinkling blue eyes, is as Californian as the golden sunshine itself. But don’t let his fluffy hair and shiny braces fool you - when he dons his cowboy hat and mounts his trusty steed, ‘Sir Neigh-a-lot’, he's as dashing and gallant as any hero from an old western movie. Cowboy Cal and the rest of the Horseback Heroes spend their days galloping along the golden beaches, racing through the lush vineyards, and exploring the mighty Yosemite valleys. Every day is a wild, winding adventure. And just when you think they might be too tired to continue, they break out into laughter, make funny faces (that only a mother could love), and start a new journey anew. With their unwavering spirit, contagious laughter, and their loyal horses, these kids paint a picture of California that's as vibrant as a Hollywood movie and as warm as freshly baked apple pie. So saddle up, and giddy up, kids! The Horseback Heroes of California are here to whisk you away on an unforgettable ride!

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.
