Once upon a time, in the sun-soaked state of Louisiana, better known as LA, where the sun blinks lazily at the alligators lazing around in the bayous, a group of kids, as lively as a pot of gumbo, were making their mark. Now, these weren't your average, everyday children. Oh no! These were the Doodle Masters of the Bayou State! The Doodle Masters whirled their sketch pads out of their backpacks faster than a crawfish scooting backwards, ready to sketch anything and everything from the mossy oak trees to the jazz musicians in the bustling French Quarter. Armed with pencils, markers, and crayons of every color imaginable, they captured the essence of LA in the most whimsical ways. Hootin’ Henry, the leader of the pack, was as eccentric as they come. A double denim-wearing, harmonica-playing whizz kid with a shock of red hair, Henry could sketch a spicy po’boy sandwich so realistic, you’d swear you could smell the Cajun spices. Chuckles Charlie was the jester of the group. His sketches of swamp creatures wearing sunglasses and playing banjos would make even the grumpiest gator giggle. Twirling Tilly, with her polka-dot overalls and braided pigtails, loved to sketch the Mardi Gras parades. Her drawings of the brightly colored costumes, masks, and beads brought the lively carnival right onto the page. Together, the Doodle Masters of LA added a rich, vibrant, and humorous flavor to the already lively spirit of the Pelican State, proving that not everything in Louisiana has to be as serious as a pot of simmering gumbo. Life is a sketch pad, they say, and all you need is a dash of creativity, a sprinkle of humor, and a big, hearty laugh to create a masterpiece.

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.
Bring out your child’s inner artist with our year-round creative art workshops! Our unique program offers fun and engaging art classes for kids and teens in New Orleans and all over the world. During the summer, our camp schedule includes morning and afternoon classes, as well as exciting walking trips to Markey Park and Clouet Gardens. We also swim twice a week at Stalling Pool. With a small class size of 24 students, and a 1/6 student/teacher ratio, your child will benefit from individualized attention and instruction. All materials, field trips, and transportation are included in the tuition, as well as Friday Pizza Parties! At the end of each session, students will have the opportunity to showcase their work in a final presentation to family and friends.
