In the heartland of the United States, snugly nestled amidst the fields of corn and soybeans, lies the great state of Indiana. Now hold on to your hats kids, because Indiana is not just about farms and basketball hoops, it's a state of high-flying adventure where youngsters morph into high-altitude heroes, soaring through the canopy of Hoosier National Forest. Meet our quirky protagonist, Tommy Tumbleweed, a tenacious ten-year-old with a head full of dreams and a heart full of daring. Tommy wasn't your average Indiana kid, oh no, he was the undisputed champion of one thing - Zip Lining. Yes, you heard right, zip lining! You see, Indiana kids, they don't just climb trees, they fly between them! On weekends, Tommy and his gang of fearless friends would zoom, zoom, zoom across the treetops, shouting, "Yippee-ki-yay!" as the wind whipped their faces. Tommy would often imagine he was a modern-day Tarzan, but instead of vines, he swung on sturdy steel cables. And instead of a loincloth, he wore neon-colored shorts that could blind a raccoon at fifty paces! Imagine the thrill of it, the courage it takes to step off that platform and fly across the sky, just like Superman - if Superman wore a helmet and a safety harness, of course. The way the kids from Indiana see it, why should birds have all the high-flying fun? So, if you're ever in Indiana and you feel the earth rumble under your feet, don't worry. It's probably just Tommy Tumbleweed and his friends, laughing and shouting as they zip through the trees, proving once again that in Indiana, the sky is definitely not the limit!

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.
