In the bustling, historic state of Massachusetts, where the famous snow-dusted Berkshires tower grandly and the Atlantic Ocean laps at the Cape Cod shore, exists a magical society of young artists. Unbeknownst to most adults, these are not just ordinary children, oh no, they are the Giggle Potters of Massachusetts. Yes, you heard right, the Giggle Potters! Now, what's a Giggle Potter, you may wonder. Well, Giggle Potters are kiddos who have the extraordinary power of turning shapeless, gooey globs of clay into incredible works of art while perpetually giggling. With hands smeared in clay, radiant faces, and an infectious laughter that could make even a grumpy old troll chortle, they gather in studios, after-school clubs, and even garages all across the Bay State. A typical day in the life of a Giggle Potter involves a secret rendezvous at the "Muddy Magic Hour," when the sun weaves gold into the sky. Guided by their mentor, an ancient, chuckling gnome named Claybeard, they sculpt, mold, and transform clay into whimsy and wonders, all while sharing laughter and a super-secret, splatter-proof joke of the day. Whether they're molding magnificent monsters, whirling whimsical whirligigs, or creating cute, chubby-cheeked chipmunks, their creations always radiate joy and creativity. And anyone, I mean, anyone, who has ever received a Giggle Potter's craft can't help but giggle too! So, next time you laugh uncontrollably while holding a ceramic masterpiece, remember that somewhere in Massachusetts, a Giggle Potter is probably giggling back at you! The state of Massachusetts isn't just known for its vibrant fall colors, clam chowder, or the Boston Tea Party; it's also the home of the giggliest, mud-loving artists you'll ever meet - The Giggle Potters!

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.
