Deep in the heart of the United States, you'll find Mississippi, a state that dances to its own quirky rhythm. To most folks, Mississippi's a place of slow, southern charm, hot buttered cornbread, and folks saying y'all. But to kids who call this place home, it's much more than that. Mississippi is a magical realm packed to the brim with adventure and stories waiting to be written. Now, meet the brilliant kids of Mississippi, scribblers, and dreamers, each one of them. They have an extraordinary knack for turning ordinary into fantastic, spinning tales filled with laughter, mystery, and sometimes, even talking alligators with a sassy attitude. Enter Scribble McNoodle, a zany and imaginative character with wild, curly hair that looks like he's been electrocuted. Scribble is the self-appointed president of Mississippi’s underground writing club, fondly known as "The Mighty Mjolnir of Metaphors". He’s known for his outrageous tales, often featuring a three-legged cat named Tri-pawd who moonwalks to bluegrass music. Scribble's stories are an endless source of chuckles, leaving everyone grinning from ear to ear. Every day after school, Scribble and his gang of word wizards gather under the oldest Magnolia tree, nicknamed ‘The Wise Old Maggy’. They huddle together, brandishing their pencils like mighty pens of destiny, their notebooks filled with delightful tales of heroes, villains, and a large dose of Mississippi charm. They write about the reality and beyond, about the quiet bayous whispering old secrets, about the hauntingly beautiful Natchez Trace, and the Gulf Coast that’s been the muse of countless dreamers. So, welcome to Mississippi, where every kid is a writer, every writer is a magician, and every story is a whirlwind of laughter, adventure, and good old southern charm.

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.
