Once upon a time, in the magically charming state of Connecticut, a group of kids gathered for an exciting adventure. Connecticut, or as they fondly called it, "Connecti-CUTIE," was a place of beautiful forests, refreshing beaches, and delicious pizza, but these kids were on a different mission. They were the "Sensory Superstars!" The Sensory Superstars were a jolly group of playful kids who loved to explore their senses. There was Ticklish Tim, who could feel a tickle from a mile away, Sniffly Sophie who could smell a flower before it even bloomed, Tasty Tommy who could taste the sweetness of an apple before biting into it, Hear-a-lot Hannah who could hear a pin drop in another town, and See-it-all Sam who could spot a ladybug on a leaf from the top of the tallest tree. These kids loved Sensory Play, a magical game where they used their super senses to discover the world around them. Each day, they would meet at the "Great Sensory Castle," which was actually a giant playroom filled with colorful play-dough, squishy slime, fizzy paints, and more, where the ordinary turned extraordinary! One cloudy afternoon, as these Connecti-CUTIES were preparing for their Sensory Play, a funny thing happened. A playful squirrel, which they named Nutty Nick, stumbled upon their playroom. Nutty Nick was so tickled by the array of colors and textures, he decided to join the Sensory Superstars. With a funny twitch of his nose and a whirl of his tail, he became an honorary member! And so, the Sensory Superstars of Connecti-CUTIE continued their exciting adventures, discovering new sensations, giggling at their silly pranks, and making their world a magical place of Sensory Play. And of course, Nutty Nick was always there, adding an extra dash of laughter to their adventures.

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.
