In the charming Southern state of Georgia, where peaches are plump and mammoth pecan trees dot the landscape, thousands of young sharpshooters gather for a fascinating adventure. These aren't your typical adventurers; they're Georgia's top-notch junior archers, able to shoot an arrow with eagle-eyed precision. Meet our hero, eleven-year-old Lenny "Bullseye" Baxter. Lenny, a skinny kid with a mop of fiery red hair, freckles dancing across his nose, and a lopsided grin, happens to be the reigning champion. In one hand, he holds a grits sandwich, a Georgian delicacy, and in the other, his trusty bow affectionately nicknamed "Peach Pit." Lenny and his friends, all part of the Peach State's Archery Association for sprightly tots, are a sight to behold. Their colorful quivers are filled with arrows that whistle through the air, making a sound like a hummingbird wearing sneakers. And their aim? More accurate than a GPS on a spaceship! These pint-sized Robin Hoods in sneakers and baseball caps would gather every Saturday, each hoping to outdo the others. The targets, adorned with pictures of everything from monsters to candy bars, would quiver at the sound of their approach. The air was always thick with suspense as they lined up, their bows gleaming under the Georgian sun, ready to shoot their best shot. Whether it was little Susie targeting the monster that looked suspiciously like her pesky older brother or Lenny, with his eyes on the candy bar target (he's got a bit of a sweet tooth, you see!), the archery field was always filled with laughter, cheers, and the occasional howl of despair as an arrow veered off course. But nothing could dampen their spirits. After all, they are Georgia's finest, the merry band of archers!

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.
At Camp Pinnacle, we want to help girls learn and grow in their faith. Through Bible studies, worship, and special activities, we strive to create an environment where girls experience God. We teach girls to focus on His Word and His purpose for their lives. We want to help them develop the courage and confidence to make a positive impact on the world.
