In the quaint but sporty state of Massachusetts, a group of lively kids cluster in the emerald expanse of a baseball field. These aren't your run-of-the-mill, ordinary youngsters, oh no! They are the marvelous, unmatched, mega-powered Massachusetts Mini Red Sox! Like the towering trees of Massachusetts that stretch to the sky, their dreams and ambitions are as high as the stars. Their leader is a ten-year-old boy named Slugger Sam, a lean, mean, baseball-hitting machine. Sam, who has a secret superpower of turning any fruit into a baseball, is well-known for his ‘Apple Smack’ and ‘Watermelon Whack’. It's a sight that leaves the crowd laughing their hats off, as a burst of apple juice or a splash of watermelon flies through the air after his powerful swing! The Mini Red Sox play under the watchful eyes of Sox, a mischievous, magical squirrel. Sox, who wears a tiny Red Sox cap, has a knack for making the most boring practice drills hilariously entertaining. Just when you think you've seen it all, Sox might just replace a baseball with an acorn or perform a nutty cha-cha on the pitcher's mound! Baseball in Massachusetts is not just a game, it's a festival of fun and teamwork. Kids from all over the state travel to share this magical experience, to laugh, to learn, and most importantly, to cherish the joy of playing their favorite sport. They are the little heroes of Massachusetts, weaving tales of laughter, camaraderie, and a love for baseball that's as deep as Boston Harbor!

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.
Steve Ferroli has an incredible story to tell. As a young camp counselor at Ted Williams Camp in Lakeville, MA, he experienced something that he will never forget. Ferroli was 19-22 years old when he met Ted Williams, who was 61-64 at the time. He formed an extraordinary bond with the Hall of Fame baseball player that still resonates with campers to this day. The relationship between Ferroli and Williams is reminiscent of the bond between ET and the young boy Elliot in the movie ET. Ferroli hopes that those who come to Ted Williams Camp can appreciate the special origin of the various baseball programs and take advantage of their design. For over 40 years, the camp has developed a unique baseball world that is both historical and futuristic. This world has been created to provide players with an incredible opportunity to learn and grow. Through his experience, Ferroli has seen firsthand the powerful impact that the camp can have on young people’s lives.
