Once upon a time, in the colorful state of North Carolina, a bunch of bright-eyed, bushy-tailed kids lived. This wasn't your ordinary bunch though; they were the Crafty Clan, known far and wide for their unmatched talent in Art & Crafts! The state of NC, as their friends called it, was as diverse as a painter's palette, with its majestic Blue Ridge Mountains, lush green forests, sun-kissed beaches, and bustling cities. And right smack in the middle, you'd find the Crafty Clan, painting, gluing, cutting, and creating! Leading the pack was Billy the Brush, a cheeky little character who could paint a masterpiece faster than a squirrel eating a nut. If you thought his hair was wild, you should see his creations! One day it's a life-sized, rainbow-colored unicorn, the next it's a model of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, with blinking lights and all. Next, meet the terrific twins, Gluey Gertie and Scissors Sid. Give Gertie a bottle of glue and she can make a sculpture that looks like it's straight out of the North Carolina Museum of Art. Sid, on the other hand, could cut shapes so perfect and precise, even the most finicky Geometry teacher would be beaming with pride. And let's not forget Popsicle Patty, the queen of crafting with anything and everything. Whether it's popsicle sticks, pine cones, or pebbles, Patty could turn them into adorable little creations that everyone in NC adored. Together, these kids filled North Carolina with color, creativity, and so much laughter. And between you and me, they were only just getting started. So, if you're ready for adventure, grab your paintbrushes and glue guns, and let's join the Crafty Clan in their next grand creation!

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.
