Meet the vibrant state of Maine, a beautiful realm nestled amidst the whispers of the ocean, the arms of the forests, and the laughter of its cities. It’s a magical place where lobsters can wear flannel shirts, blueberries can have tea parties, and kids can be black belt karate masters. Yes, you heard it right, black belt karate masters! Now, let me tell you about these pint-sized karate kids. They come from all corners of Maine, from the bustling streets of Portland to the serene banks of the Kennebec River. These young warriors are armed with their mighty "Hii-yahs" and powerful roundhouse kicks, ready to take on any challenge, whether it be a towering stack of homework or a sinister gang of broccoli. One of the most legendary among them is a boy named Moosie, a freckle-faced Mainer with an affinity for fluffernutter sandwiches and a fear of... socks! He believes that wearing socks before a karate match brings bad luck, and hence, he fights barefoot. He's known for his signature move, the "Barefoot Bison Bounce", a high-flying kick that can knock an apple off a tree. They say, whenever Moosie steps into the dojo, even the most boastful bullies turn into scaredy-cats. In Maine, karate isn't just about kicks and punches; it's about courage, discipline, and a healthy dose of good old Mainer humor. And as long as they have their fun-loving spirits and karate belts tied tight, these Maine kids are ready to take on the world, one "Hii-yah" 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.
