Deep in the heart of New England, nestled between the crisp apple trees and the rugged mountains, is the pint-sized state of New Hampshire. Many people mistake it for a maple syrup bottle on the map, but those in the know understand that it's actually a shooting star of adventure and fun. You see, New Hampshire is not just famous for its stunning autumn leaves or its frothy hot chocolate; it's the planet of basketball mania! Now, let's zoom into the hustle and bustle of the local basketball courts, where you'll meet a group of kids, who are as lively and energetic as a dozen bouncing basketballs. They're fondly known as the "Hoops Hooligans." They’re not your typical basketball crew, though. Nope, they have a secret weapon - their very own imaginary mascot, Dunking Dodo! Dunking Dodo, a bird who could slam dunk with a wing tied behind his back, even though we all know dodos can’t fly! The Hoops Hooligans and Dunking Dodo are a sight to behold on the basketball court. With Dodo's imaginary high flying dunks, the kids' laughter echoes across the court. Their dribbling is a rhythmic symphony and their teamwork, an elaborate, hilarious dance routine. New Hampshire may be small, but it's big on spirit, and the Hoops Hooligans are living proof. From the snow-capped peaks of the White Mountains to the sparkling shores of Hampton Beach, the sound of bouncing basketballs can be heard. Because in New Hampshire, basketball isn’t just a game, it’s a way of life. And Dunking Dodo? Well, he’s the feathery, imaginary backbone to this gaggle of giggling basketball enthusiasts.

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.
Moosilauke is one of the oldest residential summer camps in the U.S. Since our founding in 1904, our mission has been simple but powerful: creating confident, happy, and resilient boys. Our continued success in achieving our goals is due to a number of factors: our incredibly positive and nurturing peer culture; our program of positive risk taking that encompasses a high level of skill development in three key areas (sports, waterfront and outdoor adventure); our emphasis on both structure and choice relative to activity classes, trips, and competition; and our extraordinary attention to the individual needs of each boy. Combine all of this with an enthusiastic and diverse group of 140 campers (from 18 states and 7 countries), an experienced and caring staff, and an incredible campus (100 acres of fields and forest and a secluded mile-long lake in the White Mountains of New Hampshire), and you have all the makings for an amazing summer.
