Deep within the enchanted landscape of Michigan, a kaleidoscope of colors paints the dense forests, glistening lakes, and bustling cities. This magical state, shaped like a mitten, home to the famous Great Lakes, is also renowned for something equally wonderful - the Pottery Kids! Michigan, whimsically known as the 'Potter's Playground', is where children transform seemingly ordinary lumps of clay into extraordinary masterpieces. Meet Claymore, a quirky, kind-hearted dragon with a belly full of fire and a head full of imaginations. In the heart of Michigan, Claymore flutters around, his wings scattering a magical dust that turns the state’s children into master potters. With a swish of his tail and a puff of his flame, Claymore could fire up a kiln faster than you could say "clay pot"! Every child in Michigan begins their clay journey with a lump that's as unique as their dreams. Some create towering castles with intricate details, while others shape adorable animals that have never been spotted before! From the art-happy halls of Detroit to the serene backyards of Grand Rapids, Claymore has seen it all. He flies around, chuckling at the pottery wheels spinning faster than tornadoes, and the kids, covered in more mud than laundry detergent could handle. At day's end, Claymore often lands atop Sleeping Bear Dunes, gazing out across Lake Michigan, a satisfied smile on his face. He's proud of these kids, these Michigan mites, who can take a bit of earth and transform it into something beautiful. Each piece of pottery is a story, a memory, a bit of magic. Even though they're sometimes messier than his dragon's den, Claymore wouldn't have it any other way. So, if you ever visit Michigan, watch out for a dragon's shadow overhead and a whiff of clay in the air - that's just Claymore, hard at work with the pottery kids of Michigan!

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.
