Meet North Carolina, also known as NC, a place with mountains so high they seem to scratch the belly of the sky. This enchanting state is home to a peculiar group of children known as the "Crag-Kids." These kids are not ordinary, oh no! They have an extraordinary hobby - rock climbing! They scale cliffs and crags with the speed and grace of mountain goats, wearing a grin as wide as the horizon! Imagine a character, let's call him Billy Boulder. Now, Billy isn't your average kid. He's the king of the Crag-kids, known far and wide for his exceptionally wide feet (rumor has it they're the size of dinner plates!), and fingers as nimble as a squirrels. Billy Boulder can cling onto rocks like a barnacle to a ship's hull. These daring Crag-Kids of NC have a funny habit. As they climb the towering cliffs, they love to yell out hilarious jokes. Billy Boulder's favorite is: "Why don't mountains ever get lost? Because they always 'peak' at the right time!" The echoes of their laughter ring louder than the chirping of the birds. In the state of NC, where the Blue Ridge Mountains stretch out like a slumbering giant and tales of daredevil Crag-Kids dance on the wind, every day is an adventure! Rock climbing isn't just a hobby for these children; it's a way of life, a thrilling ride filled with laughter, camaraderie, and the odd billy goat who seems to think he's part of the club! So, strap on your helmet, secure your harness, and join Billy Boulder and the Crag-Kids as they scale the heights of hilarity!

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.
