In the snuggly, pinecone-sprinkled state of Maine, also humorously known as the 'Pine Tree State', there lies an incredible place called Sportsfield. Now, you might think it's just a regular field where kids play sports, but oh, how wrong you are! This particular field has a magic of its own, a kind of enchantment that turns every kid into a super-athlete. The Sportsfield kids are no ordinary bunch, oh no! They are as unique as lobster ice cream and as lively as the moose-tastic forests surrounding them. Every morning, they bolt from their homes faster than a hummingbird on a sugar high, ready to take on any challenge Sportsfield throws their way. They are as determined as beavers building a dam, always eager to improve their game and support their team, displaying a sportsmanship as lovely and inspiring as a Maine sunrise. Now, meet their coolest yet goofiest imaginary friend, Jumpy the Jackalope. A mythical creature with the body of a rabbit and antlers of an antelope, Jumpy is the heart and soul of Sportsfield. He's the one who brings the magic, turning every game into a thrilling adventure. One day, he might turn a baseball into a shooting star or the soccer ball may suddenly start behaving like a mischievous squirrel. Jumpy’s antics keep the kids on their toes and their laughter ringing across the field. With Jumpy by their side, Sportsfield becomes not just about winning or losing, but about having a whale of a time. The kids of Sportsfield, with their wild imaginations and Jumpy’s crazy magic, make every day in Maine a captivating, belly-laugh-inducing adventure.

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.
