Nestled between the towering Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, there lies a magical place named North Carolina. This enchanting state is a realm of wild mustang beaches, hush puppy feasts, and the mysterious Lost Colony. But it's not just the scenery or food that makes North Carolina extraordinary, oh no! It's the kids here, who are the state's secret ninja-spies, known as the "Woodworking Wizards." Now, you must be wondering, "What's a Woodworking Wizard?" Well, my young friend, these are the coolest kids you'll ever meet. And they are led by none other than the most fabulous imaginary character ever – Sir Chips-a-Lot, a beaver with a top hat, a tool belt, and a twinkle in his eye. Sir Chips-a-Lot and his team of Woodworking Wizards are on a mission to transform every piece of wood they find into something magical. From making birdhouses that even the pickiest finch would call home, to crafting secret treasure chests filled with pirate gold (okay, chocolate coins, but who's counting?), these kids have mastered the art of woodworking. Each day, after school, they gather in their secret workshop, hidden beneath the Great Smoky Mountains. They put on their safety goggles, tie up their aprons, and with a hearty "Timber!" they begin their mission. The workshop echoes with laughter, the sweet smell of sawdust fills the air, and woodworking magic happens. But the Woodworking Wizards of North Carolina don't just create magic, they ARE the magic. With every whittle, carve, and sand, they use the power of their imagination to transform ordinary wood into extraordinary adventures. So, if you ever find yourself in the Tar Heel State, remember to keep an eye out for Sir Chips-a-Lot and his Woodworking Wizards.

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.
