In the sunshine-splashed state of Florida, where flamingos strut like they're on a fashion runway and alligators are often the grumpy neighbors, there exists a bunch of kids who are absolute fans of fishing. They are the fearless, floppy hat-wearing, Fishing Fanatics of Florida, also known as the FFF Squad. The leader of this merry band is a chatty pelican named Pete. Now, Pete isn't your regular pelican. He's got an oversized beak that he claims is a result of too much fish gossip but we all know he's just pulling our leg. Or rather, our fin! Pete is a veteran fish whisperer who loves sharing his fishy tales and often guides the kids on their fishing adventures. Every day these sun-kissed, flip-flop wearing kids grab their shiny fishing poles and follow Pete, hopping over sand dunes and skipping past palm trees. Along the way, they collect seashells, dodge crabby crabs, and occasionally stop to have a laugh-off with the cheeky seagulls. Once they reach their secret fishing spot, they cast their lines into the sparkling waters, hoping to reel in the biggest catch of the day. The fish here are plentiful and incredibly crafty, often giving our little heroes quite the splashy challenge! Each tug of the line sends waves of excitement and anticipation rippling through the group. Through all the laughter, the splashes, the surprise encounters with mischievous dolphins, these little fishing enthusiasts of Florida make memories that last a lifetime. They learn that sometimes, it's not just about the size of the fish you catch, but the size of the adventure you have while doing it.

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.
This summer, join us for YEX Summer Camp at Florida’s 110-acre Christian Retreat! Our camp is open to children ages 13 and up and provides an unforgettable experience full of outdoor activities, swimming, canoeing, games, arts, and dance. Our top-notch youth leaders and bands will also provide inspiring ministry. Overnight stays will allow campers to enjoy the lush banks of the Manatee River. At YEX Summer Camp, the goal of our children’s ministry is to build strong families. Our leadership team is passionate about teaching, guiding, directing, and loving the children, and we use a secure check-in system to ensure that each child is picked up by the right person. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to create lasting memories and make new friends!
