Once upon a time, in the vibrant state of Massachusetts, known for its clambakes, cranberries, and history-steeped cobblestone streets, lived a bubbly bunch of kids who were mad about Field Hockey. These weren't your ordinary kids. Nope! They had an extraordinary buddy, a spokes-llama called "Lively Larry". Larry, a fuzzy, spotted, turbo-charged llama, was a pro in Field Hockey, with a slap shot that could break the speed of sound. Larry's crew was as diverse as a jumbo bag of jelly beans. There were kids from Boston, Springfield, and Worcester, each bringing their unique flavors to the table. With their knee-high socks, mouth guards in place, and their shin guards shining in the sun, they looked like little knights marching onto a modern-day battlefield. Larry, with his custom-made, llama-sized hockey stick, would lead the charge, his fluffy tail waving like a victory flag. This group of Field Hockey fanatics, along with Larry, were known throughout Massachusetts for their dedication and spirited shenanigans. They would spend hours practicing their dribbling, passing, and shooting, and then collapse in fits of laughter, telling goofy jokes and sharing tales of Larry's misadventures, like the time he got his head stuck in a bucket of marshmallows! But it wasn't always about winning. For Larry's crew, Field Hockey was a way to bring everyone together, fostering friendship, respect, and a whole lot of fun. They were champions in their own right, turning a regular Field Hockey game into a magical, laughter-filled extravaganza. So, if you're ever in Massachusetts and hear the distant echo of kids' laughter mingling with the thwack of a hockey ball, know that Lively Larry and his crew are at it again, creating their own brand of field hockey magic!

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.

Visitors to The Graf Rink will notice a few new safety measures in place. Upon entering the rink, visitors will be required to scan a barcode and fill in contact tracing information. Masks must be worn for the entire time at the Graf Rink, including all on-ice activities. Locker rooms are open for adult leagues only, and youth skaters are asked to dress in the bleachers. When doing so, visitors are asked to maintain a distance of 6 feet apart and leave bags on the bleachers. Spectators are allowed. The Graf Rink is taking extra precautions to ensure visitors' safety. All visitors are expected to arrive no more than 15 minutes prior to their scheduled ice time and are warned to do a symptom check for fever, cough, or other signs of COVID-19. Valuables and personal items should be left at home, as The Graf Rink will not have a lost and found. Visitors are asked to bring their own labeled water bottle and use hand sanitizer provided at the rink. Social distancing should be maintained at all times. After skating, visitors are expected to leave the rink within 10 minutes so that the arena staff can properly clean before the next group arrives. The Graf Rink is doing its best to minimize risk associated with COVID-19. Limiting public programming, providing hand sanitizer, and cleaning and sanitizing surfaces are some of the measures the rink is taking. Despite these best efforts, The Graf Rink cannot eliminate all risk associated with COVID-19, so visitors must be aware of the potential risks before entering the rink.
