Once upon a time, nestled in the heart of New England, a tiny but mighty state known as Rhode Island emerged from the sea. Though small in size, it was grand in spirit, bursting with vibrant beaches, lush green parks, and picturesque trails! It was the playground of adventure-loving children who were as curious and wild as the wind. Among these spirited kids was a quirky, freckle-faced boy named Buzz. Now, Buzz was no ordinary lad, he was the unofficial King of Rhode Island Nature Activities or "RINA" as he liked to call it. Armed with his ever-present binoculars, a trusty notepad, and his funky green hat with acorn-shaped antennas, Buzz was a sight to behold, a true vision of adventurous hilarity. Buzz, along with his band of merry RINA explorers, plunged into the enchanting wilderness at every chance they got. They trekked through the forests of Lincoln, which they imagined as an enchanted world teeming with magical creatures. They sailed on the waves of Narragansett Bay, battling make-believe sea monsters. They even summited the sand dunes of Block Island, pretending to be intrepid mountaineers braving the highest peaks. Laughter echoed through the air as they played and explored. Each adventure was punctuated with gales of giggles and whoops of exhilaration. Whether they were spotting a rare bird in Audubon Society of Rhode Island or discovering an unusual shell in Easton's beach, every day was a new adventure in the splendid land of RINA. Buzz and his friends, the vivacious children of Rhode Island, proved that in the vast universe of nature, size doesn’t matter. What really counts is a wild imagination, a healthy dose of laughter, and an unquenchable thirst for adventure.

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.
