In the lovable land of Nebraska, fondly known as the Cornhusker State, a motley crew of creative kids huddled in a sun-kissed studio, their hands merrily molding masterpieces out of magical mud, better known as ceramics. This wasn't any ordinary group of children; these were the "Clay Conquerors of Nebraska", the most ingenious bunch of pottery prodigies this side of the Mississippi! Leading this enthusiastic bunch was their ever-enthusiastic guide, the indomitable Mr. Cobbles. Now, Mr. Cobbles wasn't your everyday, run-of-the-mill character. He was a jovial jumble of a man, with a heart as warm as the kiln and a laugh that could make the cornfields sway. His tangled mop of hair was the color of sun-baked clay, and his eyes sparkled with the gleam of glazed pottery. He was as much a part of Nebraska as the wide, open skies, and the kids adored him. "Oh, you rambunctious rascals of the rolling plains!" Mr. Cobbles would chuckle, his hands smeared with clay as he demonstrated the fine art of crafting a pot. The kids would giggle, their eyes wide with excitement as their small hands mimicked his actions, shaping their own muddy masterpieces. There was Billy, the quiet boy from Omaha with a knack for crafting dainty teacups. And of course, there was Sally, the brazen lass from Lincoln, whose extravagant vases were the talk of the town. While the cornfields swayed and the cattle grazed, the Clay Conquerors of Nebraska, under the watchful guidance of the wonderful Mr. Cobbles, continued to transform blobs of clay into magnificent creations. And so, the land of the Cornhuskers was not only famous for its golden crops but also its creatively captivating ceramic conquerors!

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.
