The Great Lakes State, Michigan, is like a magician's playground, with its enchanting forests, sparkling lakes, and snow-kissed winters. It's a place where the robins are the town criers, announcing the arrival of spring, while the wolverines tell tales of the mighty, yet silly, lumberjacks of the past. Kids in Michigan aren't just ordinary kids; they are brave adventurers and dreamy storytellers. Meet our little friend, Bobby Beaver - yes, you heard it right, a beaver! And not just any beaver, but a beaver with spectacles and a polka-dot bow tie. He is the chief storyteller of Michigan, and he has the coolest job. Every Friday, he paddles his oak-bark canoe across the breezy lakes, under twinkling stars, to gather kids for Storytelling Night. He is famous for his wild tales of giant blueberries, singing fish, and pizza-loving aliens! Kids from all over the state flock to the shore, their eyes shining with excitement to hear Bobby's tales. He always begins with a loud "Ready, steady, story!" making everyone giggle uncontrollably. The Michigan kids are not just listeners, they are storytellers too. They spin tales about the adventures they have in their vast backyards. Stories of racing squirrels on their bikes, of enchanted apple trees that grow rainbow-colored fruits, and of secret tunnels that lead to candy-filled lands. And amid all the laughter and imagination, Bobby Beaver and the Michigan kids fill the night with magic, turning the state into a fairytale kingdom. So, if you ever find yourself in Michigan on a Friday night, don't forget to join the storytelling adventure, and who knows, you might just meet a pizza-loving alien!

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.
