In the heart of America, surrounded by golden fields of corn, lies a not-so-hidden treasure called Iowa. This is a land where the pigs are plump, the people are friendly, and the kids are just bursting with creativity. Let's zoom in, shall we? Every sunny afternoon, the children of Iowa gather in their secret hideout, over the rainbow but under the tallest cornstalk, for their favorite activity - Arts & Crafts. Did you know, these aren't ordinary kids? Nope! They are 'Crafty Corn Kids', led by their cool imaginary friend, Doodle the Dorky Donkey. Doodle, with his rainbow mane, sparkling eyes, crayon tail, and a never-ending supply of hilarious knock-knock jokes, is the most popular donkey in all of Iowa. His specialty? Turning corn husks into stunning pieces of artwork that would make even Picasso nod in approval. "Knock, knock!" he'd begin, and all the Crafty Corn Kids would gather around, paintbrushes paused mid-air, waiting for the punchline. "Who's there?" they'd chorus. "Orange," Doodle would say, and after the giggles had subsided, he'd finish off with, "Orange you glad we're making art with corn today?" These children, with paint-splattered aprons, glitter in their hair, and laughter in their eyes, create magical masterpieces out of everyday things. Their creativity knows no bounds, just like the sprawling Iowa fields they call home. They are the heart, the soul, the living, breathing works of art of Iowa. So, if you ever find yourself in this wonderful state, look out for Doodle the Dorky Donkey and his Crafty Corn Kids, and prepare to be amazed!

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.
We at Camp Lookout are counting down the days until the 2022 camping season officially begins! As we make the necessary preparations for this exciting summer, we invite all campers to join us in the adventure. We will not be requiring masks, so campers should be sure to bring their unique personalities and a willingness to participate. With a spirit of adventure, a sense of service to others, and a few laughs, we are sure it will be a summer to remember!
