Once upon a time, in the ordinary yet extraordinary state of Ohio, there was a group of kids who had an uncommon love for Soccer. The Buckeye Buddies they were called, for they came from all corners of the state, from the banks of the mighty Ohio River to the bustling streets of Cleveland. Now, Ohio might be known for its rich history, cornfields, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but for the Buckeye Buddies, it was nothing less than a soccer wonderland. The soccer fields sparkled under the splendid sunshine, and the wind sang in harmony with the rustling leaves, creating a melody that echoed the rhythm of their soccer practices. The ball was their sassy friend, who loved to play hide and seek. It would dash here and there, bouncing and leaping like a mischievous rabbit. Sometimes, it would sneak into the goal when no one was watching, and sometimes it would refuse to enter, as if playing a prank on them. Every goal scored was celebrated with a hearty laugh, and every miss was greeted with a friendly nudge and a promise of ‘next time’. Amongst them was a cool imaginary character named Buckeye Bob. A superhero by day, soccer player by night, Buckeye Bob was their mascot and guide. He taught them the tricks of dribbling and the art of goalkeeping, but most importantly, he taught them camaraderie and sportsmanship. Buckeye Bob was a peculiar character, with a soccer ball for a head and shin guards for arms, but he was the heart and soul of the Buckeye Buddies. Thus, in the heartland of America, with a soccer ball at their feet and the spirit of sportsmanship in their hearts, the kids of Ohio found joy, friendship, and the magic of Soccer.

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.
