In the quirky, fun-filled state of New Hampshire, tucked away in the northeastern corner of our fabulous United States, the kids are just as spirited and vibrant as the stunningly splendid autumn foliage that blankets their land. Our story revolves around these little masters of creativity who delve into the mesmerizing world of Art & Crafts. These kids are not just ordinary kids – they are the magical elves of "Craftington," a name they've lovingly given to their state. Led by their whimsical leader, a jolly old leprechaun named Paddy Pallet, these kids paint, cut, paste, and create, transforming ordinary materials into extraordinary pieces of art. Paddy Pallet, with his rainbow-colored beard and paint-splattered overalls, guides these elves with a twinkle in his eye and a skip in his step. With a pot of glittering glue in one hand and a wand-like paintbrush in the other, Paddy makes each Art & Crafts session a spellbinding celebration. These Craftington kids are the champions of creativity, their imaginations as vast as the picturesque White Mountain ranges that grace their state. Each art project unfolds like one of their magnificent sunsets, bursting with colors, warmth, and heart. From creating kaleidoscopic dream catchers that mimic their star-studded night skies to crafting miniature replicas of the enchanting covered bridges that dot their landscape, these children are true artisans. They fill the air with laughter, giggles bouncing off the walls like pinballs. Their camaraderie is infectious, their joy palpable. Each child in New Hampshire, a Craftington elf, is a vibrant stroke on the canvas of their enchanted Art & Crafts world. These kids truly put the "Art" in "HeART" and the "Craft" in "Craftington." Now, isn't that a colorful tale of creativity and fun?

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.
