Hidden in the smallest state of the United States, Rhode Island, fondly known as the Ocean State, is a lively group of kids who have an unusual passion for Ping-Pong, or as they lovingly call it, 'Whiff-Whaff'. This isn't your ordinary ping-pong squad, oh no! These kids are led by a charming, imaginary mascot named Pongo. Pongo is a plump, spiked ball with a wide-eyed face etched on him and tiny paddle-shaped arms. When he hops, everyone swears they can hear a 'ping' or a 'pong'. Pongo's dream is to make every kid in Rhode Island a ping-pong enthusiast. That's why you'll always find him bouncing around the state's sandy beaches, lush green parks, and bustling schoolyards, spreading his love for ping-pong. The Rhode Island kids are quite the motley crew. There's Olivia, the Ocean State sensation who can play ping-pong blindfolded. Then there's the dynamic duo, Timmy and Tommy, who are notorious for their unbeatable twin telepathy during doubles matches. And let us not forget about the youngest member, Little Lily, who, despite her tender age of five, can match anyone with her fierce serves. These kids, following Pongo's bouncing lead, have turned the "Whiff-Whaff" into an Ocean State phenomenon. They are living proof that in Rhode Island, size doesn't matter. Whether playing ping-pong in the golden rays of the setting sun or under the twinkling blanket of stars, their laughter echoes throughout the state, proving that in Rhode Island, ping-pong is not just a game, it's a lifestyle. And Pongo? Well, he couldn't be prouder of his ping-pong disciples.

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.
