Once upon a time, in the splendid land of Iowa, nestled amidst the cornfields, rolling hills, and the mighty Mississippi River, lived a unique breed of kids, the Thespians of Tumbletown. These weren't your everyday children. No, no, they were the enchanting inhabitants of the Theatre Realm, rulers of the Drama Kingdom. Lead by the fantastic Sir Hilarious Hamlet, a humorous hamster with a passion for performing, they could transform a dull day into a dazzling drama. With a twirl of his tiny tail, Sir Hilarious Hamlet would summon the spirit of Shakespeare, and before you knew it, the sounds of sonnets would fill up the Iowa air. During the day, these kids, just like their peers, journeyed through school, homework, and chores. But when the golden sun began to set, painting the sky with hues of red and orange, they would rush to their magical barn - the Grand Iowa Theatre, ready to dive into a world of fantasy and excitement. From Cinderella to Romeo and Juliet, they would leap into every story, making it come alive with their vivid performances. Sometimes, they were brave knights, then in the blink of an eye, transformed into regal queens or mischievous fairies. Though they loved all roles, there was one they adored the most - being the jesters, the clowns. They'd pratfall, squeak, and mime, filling the barn with peals of laughter until every last cobweb shook with mirth. Yes, in the heart of Iowa, in the magical realm of Tumbletown, these kids were not just living life - they were performing it, and boy, were they good at it!

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.
