Once upon a time, in the wild and whimsical world of the North Star State, Minnesota, there existed a squawky and quirky bird named Loony the Loon. Now, Minnesota was a land of 10,000 gleaming lakes, dense, mysterious forests, and kids who were anything but ordinary. These kiddos had a knack for a unique activity - Riflery! Yes, you heard it right, Riflery! The young Minnesotans took immense pride in their love for this exciting sport. Now, don't you go thinking that these kids were doing anything dangerous. Nope! They were all under the watchful eyes of Loony the Loon, the legendary mascot of Minnesota Riflery. Loony was a distinctive character himself, known for his off-beat humor and loud squawks that could be heard all across the Lake Superior shore. "Alright kiddos, line up! Remember, safety glasses on, fingers off the trigger until you’re ready to shoot, and always aim at the target,” Loony would squawk, flapping his wings dramatically. The kids, as obedient as they were adventurous, would follow his commands to the tee. They loved the thrill of Riflery, the way their hearts pounded when they hit a bull's eye, and the sense of accomplishment it brought them. Never a dull day in Minnesota, the land of adventurous spirits! The kids of this enchanted place had the courage of a bear, the precision of an eagle, and the mischief of a raccoon. And at the heart of it all was Loony the Loon, who made each day of Riflery a laugh-out-loud, feathery, and memorable experience.

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.
Camp Victory is a welcoming place for adults, too! We offer retreats for church, youth, and family ministries, as well as corporate retreats. Our facilities provide a peaceful and beautiful environment for any group looking for a place to grow together. We also offer individual retreats and outdoor experiences for any purpose. Our staff are passionate about creating an atmosphere where relationships are nurtured and faith can grow. Whether you are a camper, a retreat group, or an individual, Camp Victory is the perfect place to be!
