In the heart of the United States, snuggled between the mighty Mississippi and the big blue skies, there lies a magical land named Iowa. Now, don't be fooled by its peaceful cornfields and friendly locals, for Iowa holds a secret. It is home to the greatest baseball-playing kids in the whole wide world! Imagine a gang of pint-sized superstars, swinging their bats with the power of superheroes, and catching fly balls like they have glue on their gloves. They call themselves the Corn Cob Crushers, and they are the coolest kids you'll ever meet. Leading them is their coach, a jolly giant named Chuck, who was once a corn-cob himself! Or at least that's what he likes to tell everyone. The Crushers are always ready for action. As soon as the rooster crows, they charge into the sparkling sunshine, cleats clattering, baseball caps sitting askew on their heads. With the scent of fresh popcorn wafting from the stands, they practice their pitches and swings in their magical baseball field, right in the middle of the largest cornfield in Iowa. Once, a corn stalk whispered to a popcorn kernel, who told a hot dog, who announced to the whole crowd that the Corn Cob Crushers' secret to their super baseball skills was... corn silk! According to Chuck, rubbing corn silk on their gloves before each game makes them unbeatable. Or maybe, it's just the magic of Iowa and the unshakable spirit of its baseball-loving kids. Either way, remember this: in the enchanting land of Iowa, corn isn't just for eating, it's for creating baseball legends!

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 NLCBS, we believe in investing in the youth of our community. Our instructional play program is designed to help young players grow and develop, while also teaching them to love the game. We don't just focus on the technical skills; we also make sure the experience is fun. We are funded solely by participant fees and donations from businesses and other organizations who recognize the importance of investing in the youth of our community.
