In the vast, sun-baked plains of the Lone Star State, where armadillos roam and cowboys line-dance, a group of kids are turning Texas into a sports utopia. Every day, they gather at Sportsfield, a place so full of laughter, energy, and wild escapades that even the armadillos pause to watch. Yes, these kids, known as the 'Sportsfield Bandits,' are as Texas-tough and fun-loving as they come. Meet Billy "The Dynamo" Dawson, a ten-year-old with a cowboy hat permanently perched on his head. He can toss a football faster than a roadrunner fleeing from a coyote. Sally "Twinkle Toes" Anderson dances around soccer opponents with the grace of a prancing prairie pony. And let's not forget about the 'Griffin Twins,' Ricky and Vicky, who can hit a baseball right over the Rio Grande. These kids are the heart and soul of Sportsfield. The Bandits play under the watchful eye of their coach, Mr. Tumbleweed, a tumbleweed turned human by an old Texan wizard for his love of sports. He wears cowboy boots that are a size too large and a hat wider than any of the longhorns. Mr. Tumbleweed’s mustache, as wild as a West Texas wind, twitches in delight every time the Bandits score a point. His laughter, as hearty as a southwestern barbecue, resonates throughout Sportsfield, encouraging the kids to have as much fun as they possibly can. So, if you ever find yourself in Texas, follow the laughter and energy, and you'll arrive at Sportsfield - a place where Texan kids, armadillos, and a tumbleweed-turned-human run wild, turning every game into an unforgettable adventure.

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.
At URJ Greene Family Camp, camp magic isn't just for summer! We bring the joy, camaraderie, and enriching activities of camp into every day of the year. We've made it our mission to be a constant source of engaging Jewish experiences, broadcasting the best of our camp activities to our community, no matter the season. We're proud to say our programs, both summer and year-round, are firmly rooted in four core Jewish values. First, we emphasize Hineni - being an individual and understanding one's unique worth. Second, we promote Reut - the creation of meaningful, lasting relationships. We also value Kavod, meaning respect for peers and oneself. And, finally, we celebrate Am Yisrael, the community of Jewish people. These time-honored, universally embraced values provide the foundation for every event we organize. They're how we anchor our activities in the rich tapestry of Jewish tradition. By doing so, we aim to ensure that Judaism remains relevant, accessible, and meaningful for all our campers in the present day.
