In the sunny, alligator-clad terrain of Florida, the air smells of fresh oranges and the hot, sandy beaches seem to stretch on for infinity. Not too far from the bustling theme parks and flamingo-populated golf courses, another world comes alive. A world that thrives on the green expanse of grass, the sturdy pigskin ball, and the thunderous cheers of children, is where the Florida football fiesta unfolds. Meet the Floridian football fiends, a gaggle of children as varied as the colors in a popsicle rainbow but united by their love for this heart-racing sport. Among them, there's our imaginary character, Freddy the Flamboyant Flamingo, a long-legged creature with a neck bendier than a bendy straw, who, despite his birdy build, dreams of becoming the star quarterback. With his hot pink plumage and an odd affinity for squawking "Hut Hut Hike," Freddy stands out, not just as the tallest in the team, but also the quirkiest. He might not have the mighty muscles of a panther or the swift speed of a dolphin, but his unyielding spirit and hilarious antics spark a unique charm that makes every game day in Florida an amusing spectacle. You see, whether it's an embarrassingly high jump that ends up in a somersault, or a wild dash that always seems to veer off towards the concession stand, Freddy's football follies always keep the crowd, and his fellow players, laughing. Yet, no matter how many times he goofily gallops, or hilariously huffs and puffs, his flamingo spirit never gets deflated. For Freddy, and the rest of the gang, every football game, whether enjoyed under the radiant Floridian sun or the twinkling night sky, is a celebration of laughter, camaraderie, and the sheer joy of just being a kid.

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.
