In the breezy, enchanting state of Michigan, a land surrounded by shimmering Great Lakes and carpeted with lush green forests, a peculiarly delightful group of children gather. They’re known as the "Ceramic Crusaders," a brigade of bright-eyed, bushy-tailed kids who unite in the name of creating beautiful things out of lumps of clay. These spirited youngsters hail from every corner of the state, from the bustling streets of Detroit to the tranquil shores of Mackinac Island. Their leader, a jolly and jovial fella named Clay-Master Charlie, was once a handsome prince who was turned into a playful pottery wheel by a wicked wizard. Even though he was round and spun a lot, Clay-Master Charlie never got dizzy! Together, the Ceramic Crusaders and Clay-Master Charlie concoct mesmerizing masterpieces, turning mounds of mud into magical mugs, pretty plates, and fantastic figurines. As they mould and shape, the children's giggles echo across the state, a symphony of joy and creativity. They paint their ceramic creations in every color of the rainbow, their faces smeared with reds, blues, and greens. Each one of them stamps their artwork with the shape of Michigan, a unique signature of their proud heritage. But don't be fooled by their mirth and merriment. These are no ordinary children. They are mud warriors, clay conquerors, and pottery protectors. In their hands, lumps of clay transform into wonderful wonders, each one a tale of their adventures in the enchanting state of Michigan. And all the while, the ever-spinning Clay-Master Charlie watches on, a proud smile on his round, spinning face.

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.
