In the adventurous landscapes of Pennsylvania, where the earth is painted with the vibrant shades of nature and the air smells like a blend of chocolate from Hershey's and cheesesteak from Philly, you'll find a group of kids who are as wacky as a six-legged penguin, who engage in the most thrilling activity you can imagine - boating and canoeing! Meet Captain Wobblebeard, the quirky, imaginary guide and the coolest dude in the entire Keystone State. With a beard as wavy as the Delaware River and a laugh that reminds you of a walrus in roller skates, Wobblebeard is the jolliest, most eccentric boating expert you could ever dream of. Now, these aren't your ordinary boating kids; they're the paddling prodigies of PA, the canoeing champions of the Commonwealth. They can paddle faster than squirrels can scamper up a tree and navigate better than a homing pigeon on a mission. They are as brave as a bear, agile as a mountain lion, and they've got a sense of direction that would make a compass blush with shame. One minute they're gliding through the glimmering waters of Lake Erie, the next they're racing down the Youghiogheny River like a bunch of beavers late for a dam-building contest. With Captain Wobblebeard leading their hilarious escapades, it's a riot of laughter, splashy thrills, and unforgettable adventures. So, if you're ever in the glorious state of Pennsylvania, and you hear a commotion by the waterside, followed by a hearty laugh that sounds like a turkey choking on a corn cob, it's probably Captain Wobblebeard and our gang of boating kids, off on another wild ride on the waters of their playground, the beautiful state of Pennsylvania.

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.
