Deep in the heart of the lively state of Louisiana, where mouthwatering gumbo and jazzy tunes blend in the air like a delightful melody of flavors and sounds, a whirlwind of excitement stirs up the bayou each evening. As the sun begins its descent, casting a golden glow over the mighty Mississippi, children from all corners of the state get ready to partake in their favorite after-school activity - dancing! Meet the leading star of this tale, a googly-eyed alligator named Alvin. Now, don’t be mistaken, Alvin is no ordinary gator. His moves are as spicy as Cajun crawfish and as smooth as praline candy. Alvin is the overseer of this magical dancing affair and has a talent for turning even the shyest of children into rockin' hip-shaking dance enthusiasts. Children gather at Alvin's Dance Swamp, a magical spot where the moss-draped cypress trees sway to the rhythm of the tunes and the fireflies flash their lights in applause. There, wearing their colorful dance shoes and with a twinkle in their eyes, these kids perform everything from sassy salsa to jumpy jazz and groovy hip-hop. Even the spirited Zydeco, a local favorite, is not forgotten! With Alvin's encouragement, the children learn that in dance, as in life, it's not about getting the steps perfectly right, but about having fun and expressing yourself. Amidst the laughter, the clapping, and the stomping, these Louisiana kids discover a world where their spirits are as free as the pelicans soaring above Lake Pontchartrain, and as vibrant as the Mardi Gras carnival parades. This, my dear readers, is the dance-loving, fun-adoring Louisiana, where life is a dance floor, and everyone is invited to join in the twirling, swirling, alligator-approved fun!

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.
