In the whimsical, wondrous state of Minnesota, where the land is painted with ten thousand sparkling lakes, a bunch of buoyant kids with rod, reel, and a bucket load of enthusiasm are ready to conquer the liquid playgrounds. The winters are as frosty as a polar bear's nose, and the summers bask in the gentle warmth of a perfectly toasted marshmallow. Over in Lake Lively, a quirky character named Finley the Fisherman Furryfoot is the self-proclaimed guide for these adventurous kids. Finley, who has feet as hairy as a walrus's mustache, is not quite like your average Minnesotan. He's a peculiar blend of Bigfoot and the finest fisherman, and he has a belly laugh that sends the ducks quacking and the fish flapping. Join him and the fearless little fisher-tykes of Minnesota, where the excitement is as wide as the Mississippi River. Watch as they cast their lines, their bait plopping into the water with an echo that could wake a hibernating beaver. With eyes wide as saucers and hearts pounding like a rabbit's foot, they wait for that mysterious tug at the end of the line. Whether it's the wee hours of the morning or a balmy summer's dusk, these kids are always ready to reel in their adventure. With squeals of laughter ricocheting off the water, they vie to catch the biggest, flashiest fish in the lake, hoping to earn the highly coveted title of 'Master Angler.' Here in the magical land of Minnesota, fishing isn't just a hobby; it's a rambunctious, water-splashing, fish-catching escapade with Finley the Fisherman Furryfoot and his brigade of bobber-watching buddies. And let's be honest, there's nothing fishy about that!

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.
