In the sun-dappled state of South Carolina, where the trees sway gently in the warm breeze and the beaches echo with the rhythmic lullaby of the ocean, a group of young adventurers gather, armed with life jackets and adventurous spirits. These energetic and daring kids belong to the legendary tribe of South Carolina Water Whizzers, the most fantastic boating and canoeing enthusiasts you ever did see. Their leader is an endearing character named Soggy Sam, a chipper little otter who sports a captain's hat and a pair of neon sunglasses. Sam, with his salty sea-tales and his knack for navigating the most challenging currents, inspires these kids. He’s got the fastest tail in the south, they say, and not a single fish can out swim old Soggy Sam! With Soggy Sam at the helm, the Water Whizzers paddle down the rivers and across the lakes, their laughter ringing in harmony with the chittering of birds and the rustle of reeds. They surf the playful waves, explore mysterious marshes, and brave the thrilling white waters, always returning with a new tale of a grand adventure. Every now and again, Soggy Sam would fling himself into the water, performing a spectacular belly flop that sends up a huge sparkle of water, soaking everyone in the vicinity. The kids would squeal and laugh, and then it would be a free for all, everyone splashing around, creating an uproarious symphony of cheerfulness. These South Carolina kids are the living proof, that life is just better when you're on the water, especially when you're a part of the legendary South Carolina Water Whizzers.

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.
