In the frosty, magical state of Michigan, there's a chilly but cheerful madness that sweeps over the land each winter. It's not just the snowflakes that make the Michigan moppets shiver with excitement, it's hockey season! In this snowy wonderland, hockey isn't just a game; it's a thrilling adventure played on blades, a ballet on ice, with pucks and sticks as props. Meet our imaginary, jolly friend, Puckster the Polar Bear. He's a chunky, bumbling bear with skates that are always laced up crookedly and a hockey stick he uses like a wand. Puckster, with his puck-shaped belly that shakes like a bowl full of jelly, is the biggest hockey enthusiast in all of Michigan. Puckster watches in awe as the kids of Michigan zip across the ice, everyone hustling and bustling, chasing the magical, elusive puck. The little Wolverines, as Puckster likes to call them, are fearless, energized, and full of spirit. They zoom across the frosty rink with the speed of a snowstorm and the agility of a snowflake, laughing and cheering as they play the beloved game. Their rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes are a testament to their passion for the sport. With every slide, every goal, and every high five, they share a piece of Michigan's icy, hockey-loving heart. Puckster often tells the Northern Lights that Michigan’s kids are the best hockey players in the world, if not the entire galaxy! And so, as the golden sun sets over the icy-blue lakes and the moon rises, Michigan’s hockey-obsessed kids, with their hearts as warm as hot cocoa and their spirits as bright as a winter's star, skate on, turning the frosty rinks into their own personal winter wonderlands. And Puckster? Well, he can't help but do a little bear-boogie, because in Michigan, hockey isn't just a game, it's a way of life!

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.
