In the 'sunshiny' state of Florida, where palm trees sway happily and dolphins do the wave dance, there lived a group of peppy, little adventurers. They were not your ordinary kids, oh no! They were the ‘Field Trippers’; the boldest, brightest and most curious bunch you'd ever meet. Led by their whimsical guide, Captain Gator Chomp, who was half-alligator, half-human and bore a striking resemblance to a walking, talking sun-tan, they explored the vast wonders of Florida. On Mondays, they'd dive into the vibrant, yet mysterious depths of the Atlantic Ocean, befriending seahorses, and outswimming the grumpy, old crabs. On Tuesdays, they'd tiptoe through the mystical Everglades, playing hide and seek with flamingos, and high-fiving the always sleepy manatees. Wednesdays were for cosmic exploration at Kennedy Space Center, where they'd sometimes bump into aliens who had lost their spaceship keys. Thursdays, they'd time travel to St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States, swapping jokes with the old fort walls that had a funny bone as old as time itself. Fridays, they'd dash around Disney World, dancing with Cinderella, tickling Mickey Mouse, and sometimes, helping Goofy find his glasses. Saturdays saw them knee-deep in the orange groves, hosting the biggest, juiciest orange fights, and Sundays, they'd just bask on the sun-kissed beaches, building sandcastles and sipping on coconut water. You see, in Florida, every day was a new journey, every moment a new adventure for the ‘Field Trippers’ and their fearless leader, Captain Gator Chomp. So, if you ever find yourself in the sunny state, look out for a gator wearing sunglasses, that might just be our Captain, ready to take you on your very own Florida escapade!

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.
Morihei Ueshiba was a master martial artist and a devout follower of the Omoto Kyo Religion. He was born in Western Japan in 1883 and passed away in 1969. Ueshiba had an exceptional level of spiritual awareness and studied several classical styles of Enjin Shin Yo-Ryu Jujutsu, Goto-Ha YagyuShingan-Ryu, and Daito-Ryu Jujutsu. His passion for self-defense inspired him to create Aikido, an art that maximizes protection with minimal force. Aikido training consists of two partners practicing pre-arranged forms. The receiver initiates an attack and the person applying the technique, the tori or shite, neutralizes the attack using an aikido technique. This technique is based on the idea that the least amount of force is used to protect oneself. Aikido is a martial art where one can achieve maximum defense with minimal effort.
