In the heart of America, nestled between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, lies the adventurous state of Iowa, playfully known as the "Land of Corn." But there's more to Iowa than just cornfields and silos. Imagine a place where enchanting lakes twinkle under the Midwestern sun and rivers wind like giant serpents through the stunning landscapes, providing perfect playgrounds for the most adventurous of water bums! Meet Captain Corny, an animated cob of corn with an infectious belly laugh and a knack for boating and canoeing. Captain Corny loves nothing more than steering his corn-shaped canoe through the shimmering waters of Iowa. His green husk hat perpetually tips back as he chuckles, sending golden kernels of laughter echoing across the water. The children of Iowa are Captain Corny's crew, a lively bunch known for their enthusiasm for outdoor adventures. They are often seen scurrying around with their life jackets and canoe paddles, their giggles and squeals of delight echoing across the Iowan waterways. They aren’t afraid of a little river spray, their cheeks glowing pink with excitement and exertion. These water-loving kids are always ready for an adventure, whether it's navigating the rapid ripples of the Des Moines River or paddling peacefully on the placid surface of Lake Manawa. Under the watchful eye of their faithful corn-cob Captain, they discover secret creek paths, compete in friendly canoe races, and explore the magical waterways of their beloved state. Life in Iowa is never boring with Captain Corny and his crew around. Each day is a new adventure, filled with laughter, learning, and the simple joy of being out on the water. So here's to the Iowan kids and their corny Captain, the true kings and queens of the great Iowan waterways!

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.
Our mission is to ensure that each camper receives the best care possible while having fun and developing lifelong skills. With our professional and caring staff, we help promote a safe and healthy environment and help each camper to achieve their individual treatment goals.
