Once upon a time in the magical state of Connecticut, there existed a tribe of fearless children, who were known as the Zippy Zipliners. This small yet hearty land, Connecticut, was lavishly adorned by Mother Nature herself, with its whispering woods, majestic rivers and rolling hills that seemed to ripple like waves across the landscape. The Zippy Zipliners were no ordinary children. Oh no, they were legendary adventurers, who took on the skies, soaring above the treetops on their ziplines, laughing in the face of gravity. They were led by their quirky and hilarious leader, Captain Zippity-Do-Dah, a tall, gangly creature with a mop of untidy hair and glasses that were always slightly askew. "Ready for the next adventure, Zippy Zipliners?" Captain Zippity-Do-Dah would ask, his eyes twinkling behind his crooked glasses. And with a roar of enthusiastic assent that would make the ground tremble, the adventurous kids would strap on their helmets, pull on their gloves, and zoom off on their ziplines, the wind whipping their faces as they whooshed through the air. Their laughter echoed through the Connecticut countryside, a merry soundtrack to their ziplining adventures. They zip-zapped-zoomed above the Connecticut River, waved hello to the squirrels in the dense forests, and sometimes, even gave high-fives to the birds soaring beside them. In the end, the Zippy Zipliners and their zany leader, Captain Zippity-Do-Dah, weren’t just ziplining. They were creating stories of fearless fun, flying high above the beautiful landscape of Connecticut, living a life of adventure that was as wild and wonderful as they were. And every time they zipped down the line, they left a trail of laughter and joy that made Connecticut even more magical.

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.
