In the tiny yet mighty state of Connecticut, nestled among the rolling hills and rippling rivers, there's a unique breed of super kids. They aren't just your everyday, run-of-the-mill, video-game-playing, candy-eating youngsters. Oh, no! These are the adventurous, gravity-defying, rock-scaling prodigies of the CT Rock Climbing Guild, led by none other than the affable Captain Cragscale. Captain Cragscale, a jolly man with a bushy beard as grey as the granite he scales, sports a helmet dotted with countless dents and scratches, each telling a story of a thrilling ascent or a daring descent. His laughter is as infectious as his enthusiasm for clambering up cliffs. He encourages the kids to see every pebble as a stepping-stone and each boulder a new challenge to overcome. These Connecticut kiddos are a funny lot! They don't just climb rocks; they conquer them! With grit, determination, and a dashing sense of humor, they turn each climbing session into a comedy show. Imagine young Billy, hanging upside-down from a craggy ledge, shouting, "Look, mom, I'm a bat!" Or little Sally, stuck at a tricky spot, giggling, "I think this rock needs a 'Climb Me' sign!" The CT Rock Climbing Guild isn't just about ascending the rocky faces; it's about rising above fears, challenging oneself, and, most importantly, having a hearty laugh. These kids don't need capes to be superheroes; their climbing gear does the trick. So, if you find yourself in Connecticut, listen out for the echo of kids' laughter bouncing off the rock faces. It's the sound of adventure, courage, and hilarity blended into one!

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.
