Nestled in the heart of the United States, the enchanting land of Nebraska, or as our whimsical, winged cowboy, Tumbleweed Ted, calls it, "The magical realm of corn huskers," is a place of astounding beauty and adventure. Tumbleweed Ted, with his cowboy hat that sprouts butterfly wings, often rides on gusts of wind, whirling above Nebraska's golden cornfields. His lasso is not for cows, oh no! He uses it to catch clouds and collect rain for the kids of Nebraska. You see, the super sprightly children of Nebraska are water warriors! They are not just any warriors; these kids can surf on corn husks, paddle in potato boats, and swim faster than the speediest catfish in the Platte River! Rain or shine, they are always ready for some water fun. They are also the undefeated champions in the annual "Corn Cob Cannonball" contest, where they plunge into lakes, creating splashes taller than a silo! Tumbleweed Ted loves watching these water games. He'd chuckle, his laughter carried with the wind, as he sees a young Nebraskan lad, Billy Bob, who is known to create waves in the city pool just with the flick of his pinky! Then there is little Sally Sue, who can outswim any trout, her pigtails bobbing like twin boats in the water. Nebraska might be landlocked, but these kids have enough splash, spunk, and spirit to rival any coastal state! They are the proof that you just need a heart full of fun and a dash of Tumbleweed Ted's magic to create your own water wonderland. So, strap on your goggles, and get your flippers ready, because in Nebraska, it's always time for a water 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.
