In the magically adventurous land of North Carolina, where the Blue Ridge Mountains stretch their sleepy heads towards the sky and the Atlantic Ocean whispers lullabies to the pristine coast, there's a special group of kids - the NC Nautical Navigators. The Navigators come from every nook and corner of the state, from Charlotte's bustling cityscape to Asheville's rolling hills. Each of them is brimming with a wild spirit, a heart full of adventures and a head full of dreams. They gather in their most colorful swimwear, a fleet of sunhats, and the silliest sunglasses you've ever seen. Here's the thing: these aren't your average, ordinary kids. Oh no, they're fearless explorers, intrepid adventurers, and super-skilled canoe captains. They whisper to the water, charm the canoes, and navigate the vast bodies of water like they were born on a boat, or maybe like they had fins instead of feet. You haven't seen anything until you've seen little Miss Molly from Raleigh handling a canoe paddle like a wizard's wand, or tiny Tim from Durham making his boat dance like a graceful swan. Their guide, Captain Chuckles - a jolly old sea otter with a belly laugh that could scare away even the grumpiest gator - teaches them everything from rowing rhythms to tuning into the subtle whisper of the wind. He's got a heart as deep as the ocean, a sense of humor as infectious as a dolphin's laugh, and a twinkle in his eye that could outshine the North Star. With Captain Chuckles and their own courageous hearts, the NC Nautical Navigators ride the waves, follow the currents, and embark on incredible watery adventures across the captivating state of North Carolina. Watch out world, because here they come, paddling towards their next exciting 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.
