Rhode Island, the smallest state in the U.S, is a curious little gem tucked between Connecticut and Massachusetts. It's so teeny-tiny, you could practically lob a marshmallow from one side to the other! But don't let the size fool you! This pint-sized powerhouse brims with sandy beaches, historic landmarks, and an unusual abundance of squawking seagulls. Now, nestled within this quirky state, there's a tribe of kids gifted with lightning speed, extraordinary agility, and a zest for an utterly fantastic sport - Flag Football! They're not your average run-of-the-mill sports enthusiasts but, the gallant knights and cunning ninjas of the Flag Football kingdom. Leading this pack of talented (and slightly goofy) athletes is none other than Captain Clam Chowder, a secret superhero with magical powers. Unbeknownst to others, he got his powers from a radioactive clam, quite fitting for the Ocean State's mascot, don't you think? With his clam-shaped shield and lobster-claw gloves, Captain Clam Chowder can snap a flag off an opponent’s belt faster than a seagull swooping in for a french fry. Now, these Rhode Island kids are a hoot. They could be seen darting around the football field, laughing, huffing, puffing, and occasionally tripping over their own shoelaces. No matter if they're from Providence, Newport, or little Block Island, they all share a common love for Flag Football. Here, size doesn't matter. It's not about being the biggest or the fastest. It's about having fun, making friends, and that cheeky, triumphant grin when you seize a flag from your unsuspecting friend. So, in the tiny nook of Rhode Island, under the watchful eye of Captain Clam Chowder, kids are learning that being small can be mighty fun, especially when you’ve got a flag tucked in your belt and a bunch of friends waiting to chase you down!

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.
