Once upon a time, in the bright and bustling state of New Jersey, a group of kids embarked on a series of magical field trips. This wasn't your average state, oh no, New Jersey was a land brimming with enchanted forests, talking animals, and secret doorways hidden in the most unexpected places. These kids weren't just any kids either; they were the most adventurous, curious, and fun-loving children you could ever meet. "The New Jersey Field Trip Gang," as they called themselves, was led by a most peculiar guide - a talking squirrel named Nutty McAcorn. Nutty, with his bushy tail and oversized acorn hat, had a knack for making every trip an extraordinary adventure. He had a map, not just any map, but a magical one that could teleport the gang to any hotspot in New Jersey. Lighthouses, museums, parks, farms, factories, you name it - they were all just a magic map flip away. Each morning, the kids would gather in the schoolyard, their faces bright with excitement. Today, would it be a trip to the historic Thomas Edison National Historical Park to chat with a slightly grumpy, but genius pigeon pretending to be Thomas Edison? Or perhaps a journey to the Adventure Aquarium to have a hearty laugh with the jesters of the sea, the clownfish? With Nutty McAcorn leading the way, every day was a new adventure. The laughter and chatter of the New Jersey Field Trip Gang echoed throughout the state, their tales of adventure becoming the stuff of legends. These weren’t just field trips; they were journeys into the heart of joy, friendship, and boundless imagination. And one thing was certain in the state of New Jersey - there was never a dull moment with Nutty McAcorn and the Field Trip Gang!

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.
