Once upon a time, in the wondrous, mitten-shaped land of Michigan, there lived a curious crew of acrobatic kids. They were not your ordinary bunch of children, oh no! They were the Mighty Mitten Gymnastics Gang; a motley crew of somersaulting, cartwheeling, back-flipping, dynamic dynamos! They hailed from Detroit to Grand Rapids, Lansing to Ann Arbor, each bringing their unique style and unmatched energy to the mat. The leader of this thrilling throng was a fantastically comical character known as 'Flip Flop Freddy'. Freddy was a friendly, funny fellow who hailed from Kalamazoo, with freckles dotting his rosy cheeks and hair as wild as a Wolverine's- the state animal, not the comic book character! Freddy could flip, twirl, and somersault like no other, often adding a silly face or goofy sound effect to make his friends giggle. The kids of Michigan loved the thrill of gymnastics. They loved the exhilaration that rushed through their veins as they executed a perfect flip, the thrill of defying gravity, and the strength they discovered in themselves. Even when the Michigan winters spread a blanket of frost over the Great Lakes, the Mighty Mitten Gymnastics Gang kept the spirit of adventure and fun alive in the warm gym, cartwheeling and laughing, led by the hilarious Flip Flop Freddy. The state's motto might be "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you," but these kids would surely add, "And if you seek a laugh and a good somersault, come join us!" So, wrapped in the warmth of friendship and the thrill of gymnastics, the children of Michigan flipped, leaped, and laughed their way into unforgettable memories, creating a gymnastics tale like no other!

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.
