In the enchanting state of Michigan, a land of bewitching lakes and mystical forests, a group of extraordinary kids embark on a melodic adventure. These are not your ordinary children; they are the members of the 'Michigan Marvelous Melodists,' a team of young musicians with a knack for playing magical instruments. Leading the pack is the ever-so-spirited, Maestro Mitten, a cool snowman with a magical conducting baton. He's not just cool because he's made of snow, he's cool because he wears sunglasses at night and strums an ice guitar. His humor is as contagious as the common cold in winter, often making the kids laugh so hard that they toot out notes from their instruments. In the vibrant city of Detroit to the tranquil banks of Lake Superior, these kids and Maestro Mitten charm the state with their enchanting music. From their trombones emerges a melody that makes the Mackinac Bridge sway in rhythm, while the drum beats cause the sand dunes of Sleeping Bear to jiggle and jig. The pianists tickle the ivories with such skill that even the cherries in Traverse city bob in applause. The violinists play with such grace that the white-tailed deer of the Upper Peninsula pause in admiration. Their orchestra is so harmonious that even the Petoskey stones hum along to their tune. The only rule in this harmonious quest is to play from the heart and fill Michigan's air with joyous symphony. So, in this land of enchantment and melody, the Marvelous Melodists and Maestro Mitten continue to strum, toot, and drum their way into the hearts of Michiganders, proving that in Michigan, you can indeed make music with mirth and mitten.

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.
