Once upon a time, in the beautiful state of New Hampshire, where majestic mountains touched the azure skies and lush greenery tickled your senses, lived a bunch of enthusiastic, tennis-loving kids. Nicknamed the "Racquet Rascals," they were known for being the most fun-loving, determined bunch of mini tennis stars. The Racquet Rascals, with their brightly colored tennis shoes and caps worn backward, could often be spotted dashing around the numerous tennis courts dotting the neighborhoods of Keene, Portsmouth, and beyond. Among them was their leader, a tall, lanky kid with freckles and a mop of unruly brown hair called Twisted-Twister. Named so because of his extraordinary ability to twist and twirl his tennis shots in the most unpredictable ways, baffling his opponents and entertaining the audience. Twisted-Twister was a lad of many quirks. He had a funny ritual of tying and retying his shoelaces three times before each game. He claimed it was his secret to hitting those perfectly twisted shots. The other Racquet Rascals were not just his tennis partners but his best buddies. Their laughter often echoed across the courts, competing with the resonating 'thwack' of tennis balls. The wonderful state of New Hampshire was not just the home of the lively Racquet Rascals but also the nurturing ground of their dreams and aspirations. Tennis was not merely a game for them; it was a symphony of friendship, fun, and a testament to their fiery spirits. Even the chilly New Hampshire winters couldn't dampen their enthusiasm. They would just switch their caps for wooly hats, their shorts for sweatpants, and continue playing, leaving behind trails of mirth and a love for tennis that was as enduring as the Granite State itself.

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.
