In the heart of America, there lies a state known as Kansas, or as our cool imaginary character, Billy Bison, calls it, "The Land of Ahhs." Billy Bison, with his mischievous grin and ever-present hiking boots, is the ultimate adventurer and your guide through this exciting journey. Now, you might be thinking, "Kansas? Isn't that just flat and full of cornfields?" Well, kids, hold onto your hiking hats, because Kansas is much more than meets the eye! With Billy Bison leading the way, you'll discover the hidden treasures tucked away in this prairie state. The kids in Kansas are as adventurous as they come. They're not afraid of a little dirt, they're experts at finding shapes in the clouds, and they have a sixth sense for spotting wildflowers. They are the ultimate hiking squad. To them, Kansas isn't just home; it's one giant playground begging to be explored. They lug their little backpacks stuffed with binoculars, a trail mix, and water bottles, ready to trek through the tall grass prairies of the Flint Hills, scout out hidden caves, or chase the sun as it sets over the colossal rock formations of Monument Rocks. Oh, and they're always ready for a quick game of hide-and-seek among the Sunflowers, the state flower of Kansas. Billy Bison teaches these Kansas kids the importance of respecting nature, having a good laugh, and making every hike an unforgettable adventure. Whether they’re playfully pretending to be prairie dogs popping out of burrows or trying to outdo each other in who can spot the most bison, their laughter and exhilaration echo over the plains and valleys of Kansas. So, grab your hiking boots, kids! There's a whole lot of fun waiting for you in Kansas, Billy Bison's favorite stomping ground.

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.
