Once upon a time, nestled between the rolling rivers and the sweeping magnolias, lay the warm and sun-kissed state of Mississippi. It was a state overflowing with charm, where the aroma of barbecue filled the air and the sound of blues echoed through the trees. It was a place where the sun seemed to shine a little brighter, and folks always had time for some good, old-fashioned hospitality. And right there, in the heart of Mississippi, lived the most delightful bunch of kids, known as the "Melodious Marvels." They were a lively lot, always busy creating the most enchanting tunes that made even the grumpiest alligators tap their tails in rhythm. Now, leading this jovial troop was Maestro Mole, a jovial character with a twinkle in his eye and a tune on his lips. This quirky, long-whiskered maestro had an ear for music that was as sharp as the spines on a porcupine. He could pick up any instrument and make it sing the sweetest songs any creature had ever heard. Under the guidance of Maestro Mole, the young musicians tapped into their creative sides. They drummed on pots, strummed on sugar cane stalks, and blew into seashells, creating harmonious melodies that danced along the soft Mississippi breeze. These delightful Mississippi kids were never shy about showcasing their talents. They would often be found performing impromptu concerts on the riverbanks, their infectious music drawing in all sorts of curious creatures - from toe-tapping turtles to humming hummingbirds. So, if you ever find yourself in the enchanting state of Mississippi and hear a melodic tune carried on the wind, follow the rhythm. You can be sure the Melodious Marvels and Maestro Mole are not too far away, ready to share their music and spread a little Mississippi magic.

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.
