Welcome to the littlest, biggest hockey arena in the entire USA, the state of Rhode Island, or as we like to call it, "The Puck's Paradise." This teeny weeny state might appear as just a tiny dot on your map, but don't be fooled! Within its small size, it holds a massive world of hockey adventures. In this frosty wonderland, the clatter of hockey sticks and the swoosh of skates on ice echoes day and night, for the kids of Rhode Island eat, sleep, and breathe hockey! Let's meet our puck-chasing hero, Zamboni Zoomer. Zamboni, or ZZ as he is fondly called, isn't really a boy, nor a girl, but a wacky, fun-loving, ice-shaving machine. ZZ spends his time gliding around the rinks of Rhode Island, making sure the ice is super smooth for our little hockey stars. The Rhode Island Rugrat Rink Rats are the zaniest bunch of munchkins you'll ever see. They can't be older than ten, but boy, do they play like they're in the big leagues! Tommy "Two-Tooth" Thompson, the goalie, has more hockey pucks in his collection than teeth in his mouth! Sarah "Swoosh" Sullivan, zips around the rink faster than a hot pizza delivery on a Saturday night. Don't even get us started on Billy "The Brick" Braddock, the stoutest, toughest defenseman you'll ever see; he could stop a meteor with his hockey stick! Life in Rhode Island may be cozy, but it's far from slow. Especially if you're a member of the Rugrat Rink Rats. With a whoosh and a cheer, they show that while Rhode Island may be small on the map, it's big on hockey spirit!

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.
When Frank Crawley first took the helm as head coach of Warwick Vets in the fall of 1959, he was determined to build interest in ice hockey in the local community. He could not have imagined the impact that his efforts would have, as today Warwick Junior Hockey offers a variety of programs for players of all ages and skill levels. The learn-to-skate and learn-to-play programs provide a great foundation for new players to develop their skills, while the numerous house and travel teams provide more experienced players with additional opportunities to grow and compete. Frank Crawley's vision to boost interest in ice hockey in Warwick has been realized over the last 60 years. The growth of the Warwick Junior Hockey program has provided countless young players with a great opportunity to play and learn the game, and to develop their skills. As the program continues to grow, it is a testament to the legacy of Frank Crawley and his commitment to developing the game in the local community.
