In the heartland of America, lies a magical place called Iowa. The state is not just known for its vast fields of corn and soybeans, which by the way, are so expansive you can lose yourself in them, just ask Mr. Corn Cob Cobbler. He is an eccentric, funny character with a cob for a head and stalks for arms. Yes, you heard it right! Imagine Mr. Potato Head but corn style. He resides in Iowa, and his favorite pastime is watching the human corn kernels, also known as children, participate in Sportsfield activities. These kids are not your average Joe's. They're as energetic as popcorn popping on the cob. One moment they're here, the other they've sprinted to the other end of the field. You see, in Iowa, sports are not just games, they're a way of life. Whether it's soccer, baseball, frisbee, or their very own invented game involving a corn cob and a scarecrow, they do it all with a zeal that would leave Mr. Corn Cob Cobbler spellbound. Brimming with life, and smeared in the colors of dirt and grass, these kids are a sight to behold. Each day at the Sportsfield is a new adventure, full of laughter, friendly competition, and endless fun. They might come back home with grass-stained knees, but their cheerful faces tell a story of a day well spent. While outsiders might find it funny, this is just another day in the exciting life of an Iowan kid. And as Mr. Corn Cob Cobbler would say, "These kids are a-maize-ing!"

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.
