Once upon a time, in the heart of the American Midwest, nestled between the vast plains and the sprawling rivers, was a state known as Oklahoma, or OK for short. OK was an enchanting place filled with bountiful fields of wildflowers, twinkling night skies, and an infectious spirit of hospitality. In OK, there were kids - not just any kids, mind you. They were the talented, imaginative, and creative craft kids of Oklahoma. Each child was as unique and colorful as the crafts they made. They would get together and create everything from twinkling tiaras to magnificent miniature castles, all with the simple tools of paper, scissors, and glue. And then there was their leader, the coolest character you could ever meet - Doodle, the magical craft buffalo. Doodle had a shiny coat as blue as the Oklahoma skies, two enormous glittering horns, and a belly full of art supplies. If you needed a paintbrush, Doodle would giggle and out it would pop from his belly. Need some confetti? No problem! With a hearty laugh, Doodle's belly would rumble and out it would tumble. Doodle and the craft kids would often meet under the vast OK sky, brimming with stars. They would weave dreams into their creations, filling them with laughter, love, and a touch of magic. Each craft they made was like a tiny piece of their heart, sparkling with the true spirit of Oklahoma. The OK kids weren't just making crafts; they were making memories, each more colorful and vivid than the last, under the watchful and loving gaze of their buffalo friend, Doodle.

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.
