In the delightfully dotted farmlands of Iowa, where the corn grows as high as an elephant's eye, you'll find a bunch of basketball-loving kids who can dribble, shoot, and dunk like nobody's business. They might be amid the rolling prairies, but when it comes to hoops, these young Iowans are as slick as seasoned city slickers. Let me introduce you to a nifty, energetic friend of mine, named Bucky the Basketball-Beaver. Yes, folks, a beaver! Bucky is no ordinary critter. He's got a shiny fur coat the same color as a basketball, and an uncanny knack for the game. Bucky's chubby cheeks puff out in concentration as he dribbles the ball down the court with his flat tail, and you can bet your buttons he never misses a shot. Now, Bucky is a maestro at teaching these energetic young Iowans the art of the game. He would squeak and squawk, waving his tail like a conductor’s baton, instructing them on how to perfect their layups, free throws, and slam dunks. The crowd of kids would giggle and snort, trying to mimic his moves, their laughter echoing over the golden fields. In this whimsical world, laced with the sweet smell of corn and the delightful sight of kids playing, you'd think you were watching a cartoon than a real-life game. But here in Iowa, where the sky touches the earth, dreams have a funny way of bouncing into reality. Just ask Bucky, the Basketball-Beaver!

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!
