In the mystical land of Michigan, also known as the Great Wolverine State, a curious group of children engage in a magical activity known as Tennis. Now, these aren’t your ordinary everyday kids, oh no! These are the brave knights and princesses of the Rubber Ball Kingdom, swinging their enchanted racquets with might and precision. Let's meet our imaginary friend, Sir Bouncy Bob, the tennis ball. He's a jolly fellow, round, and yellow, with a heart as big as the Great Lakes themselves. He's the star of the game, bouncing from one racquet to another, grinning from seam to seam. His life motto? "Stay in the court and never go out!" The Michigan Minions, as they're affectionately known, train under the watchful eyes of the Old Grand River Wizard, who has a magical power of turning snowflakes into tennis balls. They battle the icy winds from Lake Michigan in the north, the fiery sun from the south, and the pesky squirrels who occasionally run off with Sir Bouncy Bob. Their laughter echoes across the state from Detroit to Grand Rapids, as they chase after Sir Bouncy Bob, making sure he doesn’t bounce off into the enchanted forest, for fear of being captured by the dreaded chipmunk knights. They play in the cherry orchards, along the sandy shores, and in the shadow of the Mackinac Bridge, turning the entire state into their fantastical tennis court. These Michigan Minions, they are a bunch of determined jesters, wizards, knights, and princesses, ready to conquer the world one tennis match at a time. Their camaraderie, bravery, and love for tennis bring a special kind of magic to the Great Wolverine State. And Sir Bouncy Bob, he couldn’t be prouder!

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.

At Walden, campers get to know each other in a variety of ways. Whether it’s in sailing class, playing volleyball, or befriending a cabin counselor, campers get to create lasting friendships and feel right at home. And, of course, Walden is also a place that calls campers home each summer. Come join us and see what Walden has to offer!
