Once upon a time, in the sunny, fun-loving state of Mississippi, known as MS, where the catfish were plump and the sunsets painted the sky in hues of purple and gold, kids from all over gathered for a great adventure. These weren't just your ordinary, run-of-the-mill children though. No, these were the Mississippi Masters of Fishing, the most daring and skillful young anglers in all the South! Armed with fishing rods, bait buckets, and the will to catch the biggest fish in all of the Mississippi River, these kids were fearless. Their leader, a cool, imaginary character named Captain Catfish, was an old salt with a funny, twinkling eye and a bushy mustache that wiggled when he laughed. And boy, did he laugh a lot! Captain Catfish, with his trusty fishing hat perched atop his head, would lead the kids on thrilling fishing expeditions. His tall tales of the legendary "Mighty Mississipp" fish, the one that got away every time, were as big as the river itself. This cheeky Captain knew every secret spot and every hidden nook of the river, always promising a grand adventure with every cast of the line. "Fishing, my young friends, isn’t just about the catch," he would say, his mustache twitching with mirth. "It's about patience, the thrill of the chase, and enjoying the great MS outdoors!" And then, with a hearty chuckle and a twinkle in his eye, Captain Catfish would cast his line into the mighty river and the children would follow, their laughter echoing across the waters. Yes, in the heart of Mississippi, life was always an adventure for the Mississippi Masters of Fishing.

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.

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.
