The glorious Sunshine State of Florida, known for its orange orchard sunsets and fancy flamingo dance-offs, is also home to an enthusiastic tribe of two-wheeled warriors. These are not your ordinary bike riders; these are the super-spunky, pedal-pushing kiddos of FL, who turn biking into an adrenaline-charged adventure. Meet our main character, the cool and quirky Captain Coconut, a biking aficionado, and a genuine Florida native. He rides a bike that's so shiny and chrome; you'd think it was made from recycled space shuttles. And oh boy! Does he have some tales to tell! From racing speedy alligators in the Everglades to playing hopscotch with seagulls on the sandy shores of Miami, Captain Coconut’s biking adventures are as wild as a manatee's pool party! Underneath his mango-tinted helmet, Captain Coconut sports a mop of hair as unruly as a hurricane, and a grin as wide as the St. Johns River. With his trusty parrot, Papaya Pete, perched on his handlebars, Captain Coconut leads the pack of pedal-powered cadets on bicycle escapades that make even the orange trees shake their leaves in excitement. The Florida bike brigade, led by our helmeted hero, pedals through the state, exploring its luscious landscapes, tropical trails, and sparkling springs. These kids zip and zoom along the palm-tree lined paths, their laughter echoing through the sunshine-soaked air. With the sun kissing their freckled cheeks and the wind whispering through their gears, these young Floridian bikers, under Captain Coconut's courageous command, turn the humble activity of biking into a Florida-sized adventure, as big and bold as their boundless spirit.

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.
