In the colorful land of South Carolina, nestled between the peaceful murmurs of the Atlantic Ocean and the enchanting whispers of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a symphony of unique sounds echoes through the terrain. This isn't your typical birdsong or rustling leaves, no, these sounds are produced by a boisterous, lively group of kids who have made the art of playing instruments their favorite pastime! These musical magicians, dubbed the 'Tune Busters' bring the state alive with their melodious charm. Leading the Tune Busters is their funky mascot - Maestro Gator. Now, Maestro isn't your ordinary alligator. He's a cool, sunglasses-wearing reptile who conducts this orchestra with his tail, expertly guiding the rhythm. His favorite catchphrase? "Ain't no swamp deep enough to drown out our tunes!" He's all about the bass... and the treble! From the cello-playing tiny tots in Charleston to the trombone-trumpeting teens of Greenville, every member of the Tune Busters has a story to tell, and they do so through their music. And boy, oh boy, what a joyous noise they make! Their symphonies are as diverse as the state's landscapes - as lively as Myrtle Beach's boardwalk, as serene as Congaree's quiet swamps, and as majestic as King's Mountain's peaks. When night falls, Maestro Gator taps his tail, marking the end of their practice - but not before a funny, musical rendition of "Sweet Carolina," their off-beat, hilarious tribute to their beloved state. As the last notes fade, they pack their instruments with a cheer, already humming tunes for the next day's practice. The Tune Busters are not just about playing instruments; they're about hitting the right notes of friendship, fun, and a shared love for their musical wonderland, South Carolina.

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.
