In the wondrous Potato State, also known as Idaho, an eclectic bunch of kids gather every week for a whimsical adventure in the magical world of ceramics. The leader of their pack is a jolly, giant potato named Spuddy, who carries a magic wand that he uses to transform ordinary clay into extraordinary ceramic masterpieces. As the children enter Spuddy's cavernous potato barn, their excitement bubbles over like a pot of Idaho's finest mashed potatoes. They eagerly don their apron armor, ready to dive into the messy thrill of a new ceramic challenge. There’s Billy Bob, the freckle-faced jokester, who once made a mug so funny, it filled itself up with hot chocolate when someone laughed. Then there’s Lily, a quiet nature-lover, who creates exquisite birdhouses that real birds vie to nest in. Spuddy guides their journey, encouraging them to get their hands mucky and have fun while shaping their own unique creations. He teaches them the beauty of patience, as they wait for their clay objects to be fired in the kiln. The kids wait anxiously, as though expecting a dragon to spit out fire-roasted treasure. They learn that creating ceramics is not just about the result, but also the fun-filled journey of molding, painting, and imagining. Each week, the Idaho barn buzzes with laughter and creativity, the air filled with flying clay and the sweet smell of wet earth. For the children of the Potato State, Spuddy's ceramic class is more than just an activity, it’s an adventure into a world of imagination and quirks, where they can shape their dreams and transform them into tangible memories.

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 want to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to explore the amazing world of the Arts, regardless of financial constraints. To make this a reality, we are proud to offer scholarships to anyone in need. We are incredibly grateful to the members and sponsors who make this mission possible. Your generous contributions are allowing us to provide art education to our community members who would otherwise not have the opportunity to explore their creativity. We are excited to see the impact that this mission has on our community, and we are looking forward to continuing to support this mission in the future. Thank you for your support!
