Once upon a time, in the dazzling state of Massachusetts, where the vibrant autumn leaves dance in the wind and the summertime sun showers the coastal beaches, lived a group of adventurous kids. Now, these weren't just any kids. They were the brave and bold Rope Course Rangers, renowned through the lands for their courage, agility, and giggly laughter. The Rope Course Rangers were always up for a challenge and the higher they climbed, the louder their laughter echoed across the state. Leading the fearless Rope Course Rangers was Captain Chuckles, a boy with twinkling eyes and a belly laugh that could shake an entire rope course. His hair was as red as a sunset and his freckles were like tiny signs of adventure on his face. Captain Chuckles, despite his funny name and constant laughter, was the epitome of bravery. He conquered rope courses like a knight takes over castles, with determination, fearlessness, and always with a joke up his sleeve. Every Saturday, the Rangers would meet at their favorite park, "The Sky-High Playground", where rope courses crisscrossed between towering trees. Here, they would swing from rope to rope, climb like squirrels, and laugh like hyenas. Each course was a new quest, a fresh adventure, and a chance for Captain Chuckles to lighten the mood with his renowned humor. In Massachusetts, these kids, the Rope Course Rangers, added an extra sparkle to the state. They reminded everyone that challenges could be fun, that laughter was essential, and that even in the heights of a rope course, the spirit of childhood humor and adventure was alive and well.

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.
The 4-H mission, pledge, motto, and slogan provide the foundation for maintaining the deep-rooted traditions of Camp Middlesex. The four H’s (Head, Heart, Hands, and Health) are taught to enrich and expand the learning experience. The four areas (Club/Camp, Community, Country, and World) serve as reminders of the many facets of our interaction with our surroundings. The camp’s staff and volunteers work hard to ensure a safe and positive atmosphere for all campers. At Camp Middlesex, campers are encouraged to learn and grow through positive reinforcement and the development of leadership skills. The camp provides a fun and safe environment for all campers to explore and develop leadership skills. Campers are encouraged to think independently and take responsibility for their own actions. Through the camp activities, campers learn to become more independent and develop a sense of community and responsibility. Through their experiences at camp, campers learn to be confident in their decisions and become self-reliant.
