New York, or as my friend, Captain Quack-a-Lot, a duck with a top hat and a monocle calls it, "The Big Apple Noisy Jungle," is a marvel of skyscrapers, glowing lights, and the hustle-bustle of people from every walk of life. But don't be fooled! This concrete jungle is not just about flashy Broadway shows, giant pizza slices, and the iconic Statue of Liberty. Beyond the city's bright lights and towering structures, there are sprawling fields, serene lakes, and lush forests where the cool and courageous kids of New York engage in a thrilling activity - Riflery! Now, these aren't just any kids, oh no! These are the sharp-eyed, calm-handed, quick-thinking children of the 'Bulls-eye Brigade'. Captain Quack-a-Lot chuckles every time he tells their tales, his feathers ruffling with delight. There's 10-year-old Lily, who can spot a target from half a mile away, even without her glasses! Then there's the 12-year-old twins, Max and Maddie, who can assemble and disassemble a rifle faster than you can say "quack". And let's not forget young Jake, who despite only being nine, can hit a bullseye while doing a headstand! These kids are not just sharpshooters but also great adventurers. Imagine them deep in the heart of New York's lush wilderness, the only sound being the rustling leaves and the steady breaths as they aim their targets. It's not just about hitting the bullseye but also about learning patience, discipline, and respect for nature. Captain Quack-a-Lot often says, "In New York, you can find the extraordinary in the ordinary.” And indeed, the riflery kids of New York are proof of that - ordinary kids doing something extraordinary, one target at a time!

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.
