In the wild, wonderful world of Tennessee, a group of adventurous kids embark on an extraordinary journey, riding the water's tumultuous tide in their colorful kayaks. Nestled between the smoky peaks of the Appalachian Mountains and the lush, rolling hills, they brave the ice-cold rivers, brimming with fun, excitement, and a touch of danger. They call themselves the "Kayak Krew," as cool as the morning dew on a lazy summer day. Now, let me introduce you to our hero, Slippy the Salamander. Don't let his slimy, squeezy appearance fool you, for Slippy is a fearless, fun-loving character with a knack for kayaking like no other. His webbed feet come in handy when he's navigating the tricky, turbulent waterways of Tennessee. Together with Slippy and the Kayak Krew, you're in for an adventure that's nothing short of legendary! These aren't your regular kids, oh no! They are the brave, the bold, the downright dirty and daring. When they're not dodging whirlpools or outpacing waterfalls, they're clambering over the craggy mountain trails or slithering through the misty woodland. Each day, they paddle their way through Tennessee's rushing rivers, laughing in the face of danger, their hearts racing like wild horses. But it's not all thrills and spills. Their kayak adventures also bring them face to face with the state’s beautiful natural landscapes, from the dense green forests to the sparkling lakes, where the sun dances on the water's surface like a thousand tiny stars. In the magical world of Tennessee, the Kayak Krew is always up for an adventure. So strap on your helmets, zip up your life jackets, and hop into the kayak. The wild, roaring rivers of Tennessee are waiting for you!

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.
To make sure we provide the best possible experience for our campers, we take extreme care in selecting the right staff. Our team members must undergo a rigorous interview and training process to make sure they have the necessary skills and knowledge to lead our multi-activity areas – from the swimming pools to the climbing tower. Our staff are committed to giving our campers the opportunity to build relationships, collaborate in groups, and challenge themselves in a safe and supportive environment. By doing this, we can ensure that our campers are getting the most out of their time with us and that the skills they learn are ones that will stay with them for life.
