Once upon a time, in the heart-twirling land of Oklahoma, where sunsets paint the sky the color of cotton candy and the prairies sing you lullabies, a lively bunch of kids would gather. They were the dance enthusiasts, the toe-tapping, twirling, two-stepping youngsters who simply couldn't help but move when music played. In amongst this boisterous group was a sprite named Flossy, a creature as colorful and unpredictable as Oklahoma's weather itself. Flossy was tiny, only reaching the height of a cowboy's boot, but what she lacked in size, she made up for in spunk. With hair as wild as the Redbud trees in spring and eyes sparkling like Lake Eufaula on a sunny day, she was a sight to behold! Flossy was the self-appointed coach of this dance troupe of giggling, jostling Okie kids. She would twirl and twist, leap and land, teaching them the steps to dances that the prairie wind had whispered in her ear. She was a tough little cookie-crumb, but she had a heart as big as the Blue Whale of Catoosa. The dance sessions were filled with laughter, with Flossy often landing on her backside, her wild hair standing straight up and her tiny fists shaking at the sky. The kids would howl with laughter, their sides aching, but they'd always help her up and get right back to dancing. These Oklahoma kids didn't just learn to dance; they learned to live - to embrace each moment with a giggle, a twirl, and a tumble. Much like their quirky little coach, they became embodiments of Oklahoma itself - full of life, color, and a never-say-die spirit.

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.
