In the sunny state of California, where palm trees sway like hula dancers and surfers ride waves like galloping stallions, a team of scrappy young kids, known as the California Crushers, are mastering the timeless sport of baseball. Their story is a mix of the wild and wacky, with a sprinkle of the unbelievable, and a dash of the absolutely hilarious. Let's start with the team's coach, a tall, lanky fellow named Bumblebee Burt. No, he's not a giant insect. But he wears these thick-rimmed glasses that make his eyes as big as baseballs, which somehow give him a superpower to spot the tiniest mistake from miles away. He has a laugh that sounds like a honking seal and a habit of getting his cap stuck in trees, but he's the best coach these kids could ever ask for. Now, onto the team. Leading the pack is 'Hurricane' Harry, a pint-sized powerhouse with a swing that could blow you away. Then there's 'Rocket' Rachel, who's as quick as a flash and can steal bases like a ninja. 'Glove' Gavin is the team's catcher and his mitt is like a magnet for baseballs. Finally, 'Twister' Tina, the pitcher, can twist and twirl a ball in ways that confound even the bravest of batters. This quirky bunch of Californian kids, with their mismatched socks, crazy chants, and outlandish tin-foil trophies, are the heart and soul of California's baseball scene. Through their adventures on and off the field, they show everyone that baseball isn't just a game, it's a wild, wacky, and wonderful way of life.

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.
