In the splendid state of New York, where skyscrapers reach for the stars and the pizza is as big as your head, lived a daring group of kids known as the "Rambunctious Rope Rascals." These brave, nimble children found joy and thrill in an activity that required daring, strength, and a keen balance – the magnificent Rope Course! New York, their playfield, is a place where dreams are as tall as the towering Empire State Building. Where the vibrant Times Square blinks awake even when the moon is high, and where the mighty Niagara Falls roars in the background, singing the anthem of their adventures. Among all the superheroes of New York, there was one who stood out, Cap'n Climber, the fearless leader of the Rambunctious Rope Rascals. Cap'n Climber was as agile as a squirrel, and as brave as a lion. His favorite breakfast? A big bowl of 'Adventur-o's', sprinkled with courage and served with a glass of determination. He had a habit of getting his head stuck in buckets, but that never stopped him from leading his team through the trickiest Rope Courses. Each day, the Rope Rascals would meet at the biggest rope course in Central Park. Cap'n Climber, with his helmet on backwards and his shoelaces usually tied together, would lead the charge. Together, they'd swing through obstacles, climb to new heights, and giggle as they occasionally tumbled, always ready for another round. In New York, the city that never sleeps, the Rambunctious Rope Rascals were the embodiment of adventure, fun, and the spirit of never giving up, even when you have a bucket stuck on your head!

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.
