In the lush heartland of the mighty Mississippi, known to many as the "Magnolia State", there's a secret society of young cowboys and cowgirls. They aren't your regular rodeo wranglers or your everyday equestrians; these are the Mississippi Munchkins, and they bear an uncommon passion for horseback riding that could outshine the sun itself! These mini marauders of MS, known for their iron-willed grit and their cheeky southern charm, are of all ages, shapes, and sizes. They spend their sparkling summer days in the heart of the state, galloping across the emerald meadows, their laughter blending harmoniously with the neighs and whinnies of their trusty steeds. Now, don't be fooled by their youthful grins and pint-sized boots. For when they mount their horses, they transform into the most courageous of knights, the wildest of west-bound explorers, and even magical unicorn riders! These aren't just any ordinary kids; they're the heroes and heroines of their own whimsical wild west – a land where humor, bravery, and magnolias bloom in abundance. Their leader, a hilarious chap known as Haystack Hal, is a sight to behold. Imagine a haystack came to life, donned a cowboy hat, and adopted the most outrageous southern drawl – that's Hal! Despite his straw-made mane and ever-lost left boot, he's the best horseback rider this side of the Mississippi. Laughing in the face of danger, he's always there to guide his team through the thickest forests and the muddiest marshes. So, if you ever hear the thunderous clatter of tiny hooves and peals of laughter echoing across the green fields of Mississippi, you'll know it's Haystack Hal and the Mississippi Munchkins, off on another hilarious horseback adventure!

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.
The camp provides unique opportunities for children of all abilities to learn and grow together in a safe and supportive environment. Activities at the camp include swimming, fishing, arts and crafts, archery, sports, horseback riding, and much more. All of these activities are designed to allow campers to develop self-esteem and confidence and to just be kids. Camp Dream Street is an incredible place where kids can build lifelong friendships, have fun, and develop skills that will help them to become more independent. It is a place where everyone is accepted and respected regardless of their ability. Dream Street provides an inclusive environment that allows all campers to feel included and empowered.
