Nestled snuggly between Connecticut and Massachusetts, Rhode Island, known as the 'Ocean State', is the smallest state in the United States. But don't let its size fool you! This tiny state is big on personality and packed with friendly folks who love their art and crafts. This story is all about the imaginative and creative kids of Rhode Island who love diving into the world of arts and crafts. Meet our main character, a quirky little paintbrush named Artie. Artie has a funny way of twisting his bristles into a wry smile whenever he sees a blank canvas. He lives in Rhode Island, where the kids are as colorful as the rainbow striped socks he wears. These children can turn a simple sheet of paper into a magical butterfly or a handful of seashells into a royal crown. When they dip their brushes into pots of paint, they aren't just painting, they're storytelling. Their hands, smeared with glitter and glue, hold the power to craft worlds where unicorns prance, spaceships zoom, and dinosaurs roam. Artie loves working with these kids because, in Rhode Island, Art and Crafts aren't just hobbies; they are grand adventures. And every day, Artie, with his bristles pointed high, leads the young artists on these adventures. Each splatter of paint, each cut-out shape tells a story of the boundless imagination found within the hearts of Rhode Island kids. So, grab your scissors and your color box. Join Artie and the Rhode Island kids on their artistic escapades. After all, in Rhode Island, every day is a perfect day for art and crafts!

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.
