Florida, the Sunshine State, is a magical land where oranges grow as big as basketballs, alligators wear sunglasses, and where the waves sing lullabies at night. In this sun-kissed paradise, a group of kids have found a passion for a very special activity, ceramics. Our story begins in the vibrant city of Miami, where our hero, Clay "Kiln" Kowalski, a clump of magical, talking clay with a heart as big as his grin, leads this merry band of creative potters. Clay Kiln, or C.K. as the kids call him, has the magical ability to shape-shift into any form the children can imagine. His favorite is a massive dragon, but he also enjoys taking the shape of a silly, wobbly flamingo or a fierce pirate hat. The kids find their inspiration from him, their giggles echoing through the workshop as Clay Kiln morphs into one hilarious shape after another. These Florida kids have hands that craft miracles out of mounds of clay. They paint their creations with vibrant colors, as lively and diverse as the Florida landscape itself. From ocean-blue bowls to flamingo-pink vases, their art is a rainbow of color and creativity. The Florida sun may be hot, but the hearts of these children burn even brighter. As they squish, mold, and spin their ceramics, they learn the power of imagination and the joy of creating something with their own two hands. Their laughter and camaraderie ring louder than the chime of the pottery wheels and make their workshop the happiest corner in all of Florida. It's Clay Kiln and his friendly gang of creative potters, painting the Sunshine State with their colors of joy, one ceramic piece at a time.

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.
