In the Sunshine State of Florida, where oranges grow bigger than basketballs and alligators sunbathe on every other golf course, you'll find a unique breed of kids. They're faster than a roadrunner on rollerblades and can leap like a kangaroo on a trampoline. These kids are members of the legendary Florida Track and Field team! Among them is a quirky kid named Flashing Frankie. Frankie, with hair as orange as the ripest Florida orange and a grin as wide as the Everglades, is not your average 10-year-old. When he's not racing the wind or pole vaulting over palm trees, Frankie is busy dreaming of winning gold medals and munching on key lime pies. Frankie and his friends train under the watchful eye of Coach Flamingo, a former Olympic champion who stands as tall as a... well, flamingo! With her giant pink sunglasses and her trusty stopwatch that’s as accurate as a NASA rocket's timer, she's always ready to help the kids improve their techniques. The Florida sun heats the track, making it the perfect runway for these speedy kids. As they sprint, they leave behind a trail of dust, making them look like comets shooting across a summer sky. Every leap, every throw, every dash is filled with the spirit of Florida, echoing the rhythm of the sea and the rustle of the palm trees. So, if you ever find yourself in Florida, don't be surprised if you see a blur of lightning-fast kids zipping past you. That's just Flashing Frankie and his friends, the stars of Florida Track and Field, training for their next big race!

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.
