In the wonderfully wild and whimsical state of ID, also known as Idaho, a whole band of water-loving kids named the "Potato Paddlers" take on the thrilling activity of swimming. Nestled among the towering mountains and sprawling potato farms, Idaho's pristine blue lakes become their splash-tastic playground. These aren't your run-of-the-mill swimmers, oh no! These kids can zigzag through the water faster than a jackrabbit on a caffeine binge! Leading the Potato Paddlers is their captain, Finley "Flipper" Fishtail. Now, Flipper isn't your average Idaho kid. Legend has it, he was born with flippers instead of feet, making him the most daring and dashing swimmer in all of ID. He can perform a backstroke faster than you can say, "Holy Mackerel!" With a grin as broad as a catfish, and a sense of humor as vast as the Pacific Ocean, Flipper can make anyone laugh their swim trunks off! Then we've got the twins, Bubble and Bobber. They're known for their synchronized swimming stunts and underwater giggle fits. They could make a sea cucumber chuckle! And let's not forget about Noodle, the tallest and bendiest of the Potato Paddlers. His butterfly stroke could stir up a whirlpool! In the great state of ID, between the breathtaking mountains and under the vast blue sky, you'll find these amazing kids. The Potato Paddlers, with their watery antics and hearty laughter, take on every day like it's a new adventure. Swimming isn't just an activity for them, it's a way of life, a cascade of fun that never stops flowing. So, if you're ever in Idaho, don't forget to take a peek at the nearest lake - you just might spot a Potato Paddler!

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.
