Deep in the heart of the magical land known as Connecticut, a kaleidoscope of kids are gearing up for a thrilling adventure. This isn't your typical treasure hunt or dragon-slaying quest, no siree! This is a journey filled with numbers, equations, and the almighty power of Mathematics! The kids, as diverse as the leaves on Connecticut's majestic maple trees, come from every corner of the state. From the bustling streets of Bridgeport to the quiet corners of Cornwall, they bring with them sharp pencils, sharper minds, and an appetite for fun math problems. Leading the charge is their quirky guide, Professor Wigglesworth, a lovable, slightly eccentric, mathemagus, whose hair always sticks up in odd angles like a 3D coordinate system. With his magical chalk that's rumored to be made from unicorn horns and dragon scales, he draws equations in thin air, turning complex problems into playful challenges. These kids dive headfirst into the world of numbers, giggling their way through multiplication, whispering secrets to fractions, and doing victory dances with decimals. They solve equations with the fervor of knights fighting dragons, not daunted by the occasional mistake – those were just mischievous math gremlins trying to trip them up! On the weekends, these math heroes can be found lounging on sandy beaches, exploring dense forests, and embracing the charm of Connecticut's rich history. They're as likely to count the lighthouses dotting the coast as they are to calculate the speed of a falling autumn leaf. In the world of Connecticut math kids, the only thing more contagious than the laughter is their insatiable curiosity. Surrounded by vibrant landscapes, powered by unending enthusiasm, and guided by a math-magician, they're living proof that numbers really do add up to a whole lot of fun!

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.
