Once upon a time, in the tiny, charming state of Connecticut, known as the "Provision State" for its rich history in helping others, lived a group of extraordinary children. Connecticut, a place of scenic beauty, filled with everything from bustling cities to peaceful woods, and the mysterious, majestic Long Island Sound. It was a place where the seasons danced in vivid colors, winter white, spring green, summer gold, and fall's fantastic rainbow. Now, these weren't just any children, oh no, they were the Reading Rascals of Connecticut! Under the leadership of their quirky, colorful mascot, Wordy the Whimsical Wombat, they boldly ventured into the world of books, gobbling up stories as if it were their favorite ice cream on a hot summer day. Wordy, with his oversized spectacles perched on his snout, led them on reading adventures, diving into tales of daring pirates, enchanted forests, and fantastic beasts. Every day, Wordy would pop out of a book, his fur sparkling with a peculiar kind of magic, causing the kids to burst into giggles, "Time for a reading spree, my rambunctious rascals!" he'd announce, his voice a mixture of a whispering wind and a tickling chuckle. The kids would rush to their cozy reading corner, eyes sparkling with anticipation. The Reading Rascals were famous all over Connecticut. From Stamford to Hartford, everybody knew them as the kids who could turn a page into a stage. Together, they discovered new worlds, solved mysteries, and went on incredible adventures, all without leaving their beloved state. Yes indeed, Connecticut was a lot more than just a place on a map. It was the land of stories, home to the fabulous Reading Rascals, and the whimsical Wordy the Wombat!

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.
