"Welcome to the brightly colored and sun-kissed state of Florida, where the oranges taste sweeter, the dolphins play merrier, and the kids are as vibrant as the rainbow sprinkles on a sundae. Here, amidst the cotton candy clouds and palm tree skyscrapers, live a unique bunch of kids who partake in a special kind of magic, known as Physical Therapy. These brave young warriors, with hearts as warm as the Florida sun, have an unusual sidekick named Flexy the Flamingo. Yes, you heard it right! A flamingo! A pink, whimsical, one-legged standing flamingo, who just happens to be the most famous Physical Therapist in the state. Flexy, with his long, bendy neck and always-ready-to-dance posture, shows the kids how to stretch their wings. He teaches them to balance like him, standing on one leg amidst a pool of giggles and hoots. Together, they test their strength, improve their flexibility, and challenge their endurance. They hop like kangaroos, run like cheetahs, and swim like dolphins, all under the Florida sun and Flexy's watchful eyes. These kids, they are the superheroes of their own stories. They don't just do squats and lunges but embark on treasure hunts for golden mangoes, dodge the sneaky alligator snaps, or race against the speedy sea turtles. They might stumble, they might fall, but with Flexy by their side, they always stand tall. So welcome, dear reader, to the sunny world of Florida, where kids don't just do Physical Therapy. They embark on a daily adventure with a funny flamingo named Flexy, turning challenges into fun and games under the ever-shining Florida sun."

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.
