In the teeny-weeny but jam-packed state of Connecticut, fondly called CT by its cheerful residents, a gaggle of high spirited, karate-chopping kids are stealing the show. They are drawn together by their mutual love for the ancient martial art of Karate, which they navigate with the agility of squirrels and the determination of honey badgers. Their enthusiasm is so fierce; it could power up the whole state if laughter and high-kicks could generate electricity! CT, despite its small size, is known for its colossal charm. It has beaches, forests, and bustling cities all neatly packed into its petite borders. And right in the middle of all this enchanting chaos, you will find our heroes, the Karate kids. They are as diverse and exciting as the state they live in. There’s Billy, a red-haired whirlwind of energy whose roundhouse kick could send a comet spiraling off into space. Then there's Mia, with her pigtails flying during her impressive kata routines, could disarm a samurai with her twinkling eyes. And let’s not forget the youngest, Tommy, who although small in stature with a knack for misplacing his karate belt, has a spirit as invincible as a knight's shiny armor. Their imaginary sensei (that's karate teacher for you rookies!) is none other than the legendary Bruce Squirrel. Bruce, a quirky woodland creature with a black belt in nut-cracking and karate, guides them through their training with his mystical martial arts wisdom sprinkled with nutty humor. The kids of CT have made karate more than just a sport; it's an adventure packed with giggles, high-fives, and the occasional yelp of "Hi-ya!" which echoes through the Connecticut valleys, inspiring every chipmunk and child to join this karate carnival. Their journey is proof that even in the smallest corners of the world, you can find the most incredible stories.

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.
