New Jersey, or as it's affectionally known, the "Garden State," is a colorful smorgasbord of bustling cities, quaint small towns, sandy beaches, and yes, plenty of gardens! It's a place where every sunset over the Jersey Shore paints a picture in shades of pink and orange, and where every scoop of ice cream tastes a bit sweeter, especially when enjoyed on a boardwalk. It's also home to a group of extraordinary kids, who can often be found engaging in a particularly magical activity: Music Therapy! Enter our friend, Melvin the Musical Moose, a hilarious character who's become something of a local celebrity. With his oversized antlers, floppy ears and a saxophone that he can play with his hooves (don't ask how, it's moose magic), Melvin has a knack for making everyone laugh. He also possesses a softer, sweeter side that's just as compelling - his deep love for music therapy. Every day, Melvin visits children across the state, sharing tunes that elicit boisterous laughter, foot-tapping, and sometimes, quiet contemplation. Music therapy, Melvin explains with a cheeky wink, is not just about making noise or creating symphonies. It's a magical journey that helps kids express their feelings, manages stress, and improves their overall well-being. The children of New Jersey have become expert explorers in this world of sound, rhythm, and emotion. With Melvin leading the way, they strum guitars, bang on drums, and even shake maracas, all the while creating a melody that echoes across the Garden State. Music Therapy, they've found, is not just fun; it's a sweet song of strength, resilience, and joy that they carry with them, long after the notes have faded.

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.
