Deep in the heart of the peach-scented state of Georgia, where the sun smiles more warmly than anywhere else, there's a special bunch of kids known as the Georgia Grits. Oh, they're not made of cornmeal, mind you. These kids are made of toughness, laughter, and an undying love for the mighty game of softball. The Georgia Grits are led by their imaginary mascot, a roly-poly armadillo named Dilly. With his tough outer shell and his quick rolling moves, he embodies the energy and never-give-up spirit of these softball-loving kids. Dilly, who has quite the funny bone, is always up to some mischief, often hiding in the outfield and popping up to surprise the players just when they least expect it. These kids, whether they are hitting a home run or tasting the dust after a daring slide to the home plate, always have a smile on their faces. Their laughter is as infectious as the sweet scent of Georgia peaches, it makes the sunflowers sway and the robins sing. From the crack of dawn, when the morning dew still clings to the green, green grass, they're out in the field, swinging their bats, and sending softballs whizzing through the warm Georgia air. After an exciting day on the fields, they gather around the biggest peach tree, sharing stories of their epic games, their faces flushed with the joy of the day. So, if you ever find yourself in the heart of Georgia, make sure you join the Georgia Grits and Dilly the armadillo for a day of softball. You'll leave with a heart full of laughter, a pocket full of peaches, and a tale or two about the magical game of softball under the Georgian sky.

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.
