In the teeny-tiny, magical state of Connecticut, known for its bewitching autumn leaves and deliciously creamy ice cream, there exists a lively, energetic bunch of kids who absolutely adore playing soccer. They're not just any kids, oh no, they are the "Soccer Sorcerers" of CT! Each Sorcerer possesses a unique power - Billy "Bouncy Boot" Baxter can kick a soccer ball so high, it disappears into the clouds! Jenny "Juggernaut" Johnson runs faster than a cheetah having a bad hair day, while Tommy "Twister" Thompson can spin around in circles so fast with the ball, it's like he's a mini-tornado on two legs. Every day, after they've finished their schoolwork and had their fill of mom's delicious apple pie, they'd run to the field, where everything is transformed. The grass seems greener, the sky bluer, and even Mrs. McCallister's cat, who usually looks grumpy, appears to be grinning. The air hums with excitement and magic as the Soccer Sorcerers take to the field. These kids may not live in a castle or wear shiny armors, but when they play soccer, they become knights and princesses, battling it out on their own magical kingdom—the soccer field. They are brave and determined, always ready to dive into the mud or fend off an opponent, in their quest to score the golden goal. So, next time you're in Connecticut, keep an eye out for a soccer ball zooming through the sky or a whirlwind of a kid twisting down the street - it might just be the Soccer Sorcerers at play! And who knows? You might get a pinch of their magic dust and become a Soccer Sorcerer too!

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.
