Deep in the heart of the wild, wacky, and wonderfully weird state of Oklahoma, where the buffalo roam, and the tumbleweeds perform their endless tumble ballet, there is a group of adventurous kids who defy gravity. They call themselves the "Oklahoma Airborne Daredevils", or the "OAD" for short. Our story begins with the group's leader, a spunky and fearless 10-year-old named Billy "Bolt" Baxter. Bolt, with his freckle-speckled face and hair as red as a sunset, is a boy with a dream – to zip, zoom, and zig-zag across every zip line in Oklahoma. Bolt, along with his ragtag team of daredevils, including Sally "Spark" Summers, a girl with a twinkle in her eye and a grin that could light up the darkest cave, and their loyal canine sidekick, a bumbling but brave basset hound named Biscuit, embark on an adrenaline-filled journey across the Sooner State. From the windy peaks of the Wichita Mountains to the lush woods of the Ouachita National Forest, these pint-sized pioneers conquer every zip line with a hoot and a holler that echoes through the valleys. They wear their helmets like crowns, and their harnesses like superhero capes, as they soar through the skies with the greatest of ease. With each zip line they cross, their laughter ripples through the air, spreading joy and inspiring other kids to step outside their comfort zones. But it's not all fun and games, for they know that they must brave the Oklahoma skies with respect and responsibility, always ensuring that safety comes first. Whether they're zipping, zooming, or zig-zagging, the OAD's will stop at nothing to reign supreme in the Oklahoma skies, leaving a trail of giggles, gasps, and grins wherever they go.

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.
