Once upon a time, in the heart-shaped state of Nebraska, often called the "Cornhusker State" but we prefer "Bookworm State", a group of kid whiz-bangers were on a fantastical journey. Now, don't be mistaken, these weren't your ordinary bambinos. No, they were the stupendous, spectacular, super-duper Reading Raccoons of Nebraska! These lit-loving tykes had a captain, an unusual yet endearing character named Captain Bibliosaurus! A dinosaur, you ask? Yes indeed, a humongously uproarious dinosaur with spectacles on his snout, and a red and white polka-dotted bowtie to boot. Do you know what was the most mind-boggling thing about him? He had books instead of scales! Every conceivable genre, from spine-tingling mysteries to laugh-out-loud comedies, were represented on his gigantic, walking library of a body. The Reading Raccoons of Nebraska were no ordinary kids, oh no! They could devour whole books faster than you could say 'Cornhusker'! And Captain Bibliosaurus, the bookiest dino you ever did see, was their guide on this journey of words, worlds, and wonders. Each day, they'd all gather in a cozy nook in the heart of Nebraska, surrounded by endless fields of golden corn swaying like an ocean in the breeze. With Captain Bibliosaurus leading the pack, they'd dive headfirst into their books, imagining themselves as heroes, astronauts, pirates, princesses, and even popcorn poppers! They traveled to spooky castles, enchanted forests, the depths of the ocean, and even to the moon, all within the pages of their books. You could hear giggles ripple through the cornfields as the Reading Raccoons of Nebraska read about the mischievous antics of their book characters. So, if you ever find yourself in the 'Bookworm State,' look for a group of kids laughing amidst the cornfields, led by a dinosaur made of books. You've found the Reading Raccoons of Nebraska, the heartiest book-lovers in the land!

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.
