Deep in the heart of Texas, where cowboy boots dance on dusty roads, and chili cook-offs simmer under a scorching sun, there’s a group of kids who defy expectations. These aren't your typical Texan rough and tumble kids. Nope, these are the Tex-Ping Pong Posse, a band of ping-pong players that could make a tumbleweed tremble with a flick of their wrists. The Lone Star State might seem like a strange setting for this ping-pong pandemonium, but these kids, y'all, they've got the spirit of a charging Longhorn and the precision of a rattlesnake strike. They're not wrangling cattle, they're wrangling ping-pong balls, serving them up faster than a jackrabbit on hot coals. And leading this legendarily loopy lot is none other than Paddle-Pete, a kid so good with a ping-pong paddle that folks say he was born holding one. Paddle-Pete, with his cowboy hat perched jauntily atop his head, and his trusty paddle, "Betsy," never far from his side. He can spin that little white ball like a twister roaring down the Panhandle. And oh, the laughter! The echo of giggles and guffaws can be heard across the prairies as the Tex-Ping Pong Posse rallies around the ping-pong table. Even the coyotes stop their howling to listen in, mesmerized by the peculiar sight of lively texan kids exchanging friendly insults and twirling their ping-pong paddles with the expertise of a trick roper. So, saddle up for a wild ride, friends! Because in Texas, the ping-pong balls fly as fast and furious as the rollicking laughter of the Tex-Ping Pong Posse. Yeehaw!

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.
