Once upon a time, in the hustle-bustle of the grand state of New York, there existed a colorful tribe known as the "Rainbow Rebels". Led by their quirky, humorous leader, Sir Brush-a-Lot, these kids were known across the skyscrapers, from Brooklyn to the Bronx, for their extraordinary painting prowess. Born with the innate ability to transform anything into a canvas, these kids painted stories that made the Big Apple even more vibrant. Sir Brush-a-Lot, a jovial giant with hair that rivaled the cotton candy at Coney Island, had a paintbrush for a mustache. He could create a rainbow in a New York minute and had the unique talent of using hot dogs and pretzels as paintbrushes. His laughter echoed down the broad avenues, often causing the Statue of Liberty to blush with joy. The Rainbow Rebels had the power to paint the town red, or blue, or green, or any color they fancied that day. They painted murals on the city walls, turning them into enchanted forests, filled with unicorns and dragons, or a bustling cityscape with taxi cabs flying high above the Empire State Building. The kids held their brushes like knights brandishing their swords, ready to conquer the world one canvas at a time. And though they might have painted over each other’s shoes or accidentally given their dog a new coat, they created masterpieces that made New York City the most vibrant city in the world. So, the next time you're in the city that never sleeps, look out for the Rainbow Rebels, because they might just paint your dreams.

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.
Our programs blend literacy, imaginative play, and design thinking to increase reading interest and skill. Creation stories along with tales of conquest and cultural tradition provide the context for our after-school and summer camp engagements where we journey through stories to help children understand themselves, our history, and our world. Our story began with, well, a story. Challenged by fans of The Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series, we set out to create a real-world version of the fictional training ground for modern-day heroes of Greek Mythology; Camp Half-Blood. Armed with no small amount of courage we set out to create a space for the stories kids love to live rich, full lives beyond the pages of the books. Eight years and three programs later we have served nearly 3,000 children with our unique brand of reading enrichment. Expanding the boundaries of the creative class is an important part of our mission and must include kids from the widest variety of families and circumstances. Our latest project, The Daedalus Initiative gifts students in Title 1 schools with science kits and other materials to further their knowledge and interest in STEM.
