Welcome to the amazingly beautiful, magical state of Maine, or as my friend Silly Sully the Seagull likes to call it, "the Lobster's Paradise." This is a place where sweet smelling pine trees dance with the winds and the sun kisses the Atlantic Ocean every morning. Now let me tell you about the brave, daring young adventurers who take part in boating and canoeing activities in this enchanting state. These are not ordinary kids, oh no! They are the fearless sailors of the Pine Tree State, guided by their trusty Captain, Paddles the Playful Beaver. Paddles is no ordinary beaver. He wears a shiny captain’s hat and uses his big, flat tail as a paddle. He navigates Maine's stunning waterways with a simple rule: "No splash, no fun!" Every day, these gallant sailors and their Captain embark on thrilling journeys, riding glistening waves atop their sleek boats and canoes. They out-paddle the squawking seagulls and race the speedy salmon, their laughter echoing across the water. Sometimes, they even out-row Otis the Old Sea Otter, who forgets where his glasses are and ends up wearing seaweed on his head, thinking it’s his cap! Oh, the fun these kids have! Their cheeks glow pink with excitement and their eyes sparkle brighter than the stars at night. They are the boating champions of Maine, the masters of merriment, and the kings and queens of canoeing. Each wave they ride tells a tale of their bravery and every splash they make echoes their endless joy. So, if you dare to join the adventure, remember the rule: "No splash, no fun!" Just ask Paddles, he'll show you how it’s done!

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.
Wyonegonic Camp for Girls is a place where a young girl can come to challenge herself and find her inner strength. The camp is located on Moose Pond in Denmark, Maine and is the oldest girls' camp in the nation. Wyonegonic offers both 3.5 and 7 week programs for girls aged 8 to 18, with a ratio of one counselor to three campers. With 750 acres of pine forest and thousands of feet of waterfront, Wyonegonic has something to offer every camper as they explore new activities in a safe, non-competitive atmosphere. At Wyonegonic, campers are encouraged to be themselves and develop lasting friendships in the simplicity of the outdoors. Wyonegonic counselors are positive mentors and have a minimum of one year of college. They provide a supportive environment for the girls and help them to develop life skills and values that will benefit them in the future. The most important goal of the counselors is to ensure that the campers feel physically and emotionally safe away from home.
