Welcome, my wild wanderers, to the dazzling domain of South Carolina, fondly known as the Palmetto State! Now, hold on tight to your sunhats, because our guide is none other than the whimsical Mr. Wigglywoop, a fantastical creature with a carrot for a nose, corn-cobs for ears, and a squash for a rotund belly. He's a jolly fellow, and his laughter is as hearty as a ripe watermelon! In South Carolina, a land kissed by the sun and caressed by the Atlantic breeze, a tribe of sprightly young farmers rule the roost. They aren't ordinary kids, oh no! They are the mud-booted, nature-loving, tractor-driving champions of the soil. Much like our friend, Mr. Wigglywoop, they too wear overalls but theirs are speckled with joyous proofs of hard work: smears of mud, splashes of rainwater, and blotches of fruit juice. Every day, the sun peeks over the horizon, winking at these youthful tillers as they pour their love into the soil, nurturing seeds into mighty stalks of corn, clusters of tomatoes, and bushels of beans. They chase off pesky crows with laughter, their smiles brighter than the ripest sunflower, their spirits as buoyant as a bobbing pumpkin. Much to Mr. Wigglywoop's delight, these little farmers aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. They understand the art of planting and the joy of harvesting. With each seed they sow, they grow a little more; with every season, they learn the rhythm of nature. And at the end of each day, they gaze at the sun setting over their thriving fields, hearts brimming with pride and satisfaction. So, come join Mr. Wigglywoop and these young caretakers of the earth in the magnificent meadows of South Carolina, where every day is a fresh adventure, brimming with the magic of growth and the wonder of life!

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.
