In the magical land of Michigan where the Great Lakes frolic with the shoreline, and the cities hum tunes of enchanting tales, dwell the bravest adventurers you'll ever meet - the Michigan Mitten Munchkins. These aren't your ordinary children, oh no! They are daring, fun-loving, and known for their zest for life, and they have a secret power, the ability to conquer the electrifying world of Zip-Lining! Every day, as the sun sprinkles its first rays of light over the sprawling forests, the Mitten Munchkins zip their way through the air, their laughter echoing across the state. Lead by their fearless leader, Zippy the Zip-Lining Zebra, a quirky character who was born with a helmet on his head and an adventurous spirit in his heart, they soar across the skies. Zippy, with his iconic black and white stripes, is quite the riot! He’s known for his hysterical jokes and wild, yet uplifting stories. “Did you hear about the zebra that tried to play hide and seek? It was a real zebra-crossing!” he would say, and the Mitten Munchkins would giggle till their bellies ached. Like the time he mistook a squirrel for his tail during a zip-line glide, or that unforgettable incident where he zipped backwards because he forgot his favorite sunglasses atop the start tower. But, when it comes to zip-lining, Zippy and his Mitten Munchkins aren't just about fun and games. They also have a motto – grit, courage, and a dash of madness! Armed with these, they zip, zoom, and zigzag across Michigan, sharing laughter, making memories, and turning the state into a thrilling zip-lining paradise!

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.
