Once upon a time, in the beautiful state of Massachusetts, often known as MA, nestled between the brilliantly lit up city of Boston and the rolling Berkshire Mountains, lived an army of young, vibrant, ever-excited, camera-slinging warriors. They were not your regular kids. No, they were the ace photographers of MA, the tiny heroes with large lenses, capturing the world one click at a time. These kids were students by day and photographers by the twilight hour, led by their eccentric, funny, and cookie-loving captain, Sir Snap-a-Lot. Sir Snap-a-Lot wasn't your average adult. He had a wildly unkempt beard, round glasses, and always wore a hat with a quirky feather sticking out, which, according to him, tickled his creativity awake. These young shutterbugs loved nothing more than exploring their picture-perfect state, from the candy-cane striped lighthouses on Cape Cod to the crimson and gold foliage in the fall. They'd venture into the heart of Boston, capturing the hustle and bustle of the city, or sometimes, they'd find themselves in Salem, on the lookout for a ghost or two to snap a spectral selfie. Every photograph they took was an adventure, a story, a memory. Whether they visited the friendly seals at the New England Aquarium or caught the sunrise atop Mount Greylock, their cameras were their trusty companions. And, oh, the laughter and jokes they shared under the guidance of Sir Snap-a-Lot, these moments were as precious as the photographs they captured. In the end, they weren't just brilliant photographers; they were a gang of friends, exploring their state and making memories, one snapshot at a time.

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.

We provide support both in and out of the classroom, offering individual tutoring in a wide variety of subjects and a staff-to-student ratio of 1:4. Our members have gone on to attend some of the top universities in the country, including Brown, Columbia, MIT, and Amherst College. We recognize that the traditional high school diploma isn’t necessary for success in any area of life, and many of our families report less stress, increased communication, and improved relationships thanks to the North Star program. Our goal is to open all doors to non-traditional learners and help our members achieve their goals.
