Once upon a time, in the sparkling sunshine of California, where the palm trees sway gently to the rhythm of the ocean breeze and the mountains stand tall with their majestic beauty, was a vibrant tribe of tiny artists known as the 'Sketching Sunchasers'. These weren't your run-of-the-mill kiddos! No sir-ee, they were a lively bunch of little Picassos, with pencils for wands and papers for magic carpets. Their drawings would come alive with vibrant colors that would put the most exquisite sunset to shame. They weren't just drawing; they were sketching their dreams on a canvas of infinite possibilities. Heading this extraordinary brigade was an imaginary character named Doodle Dude, a pencil with a cowboy hat and a bewitching grin. Doodle Dude was no ordinary pencil, his graphite tip was sharpened not just to sketch, but also to tickle out giggles and laughter from everyone. He had a contagious and a spontaneous sense of humor so powerful that even the grumpiest of grizzly bears couldn’t resist chuckling. With his unmatchable wit, Doodle Dude would often entertain the Sunchasers with puns and silly jokes. "Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything! Got it? They 'make up' everything!" he'd chuckle at his own joke while the children laughed, rolling around in the California grass. And so, in the golden state of California, under the ever-watchful eye of the sun, the Sketching Sunchasers and their beloved Doodle Dude painted their dreams, giggled, and made memories that were as warm and radiant as the Californian sun itself. Life was one big, beautiful sketchpad!

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.

Art education improves a child’s confidence. Studies have shown that when children participate in art activities, the feedback between student & teacher builds self-respect by helping them learn to accept criticism and praise. When students put their “all” into an art project, spending hours working on it and cultivating it, they will feel an enormous sense of accomplishment when it is complete. Self-motivation and personal pride grows with accomplishment.
