Welcome, my adventurous friends, to the magnificent state of Mississippi, or as I, Captain Mississippi Mongoose, like to call it - the "Mighty Mystical Mississippi!" Now, don't go mistaking me for a real mongoose, my little sea marauders. I'm just an old river rat with a yarn to spin and a love for the waterways of this fine state. Now, the kids you see paddling along the rivers, lakes and bayous of Mississippi aren't your ordinary landlubbers. No, siree, these younguns are fearsome water wizards, gliding their canoes and boats through the water with the grace of a swimming snail (which is quite graceful, don't let anyone fool ya!). They take on the gushing currents of the Mississippi River, paddle around the serene Sardis Lake, and even venture into the mysterious swamps of the Mississippi Delta. They, my friends, are the brave Boating Buccaneers of Mississippi. These kiddos are a laughing lot, always ready with a joke about a catfish wearing sunglasses or a turtle winning a swimming race. And they have a special talent - they can spot the shiniest pebble at the bottom of a creek or the biggest bullfrog on a lily pad from a mile away! But don't challenge them to a water splashing fight, unless you're prepared to be as soaked as a duck in a rainstorm. So, come on down to Mississippi, join the ranks of the Boating Buccaneers, and let’s create some splash-tastic memories together. Just remember, keep your paddle at the ready, your lifejacket snug, and your sense of adventure high. I, Captain Mississippi Mongoose, will be waiting!

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.
