Once upon a time, in the wild, wild, west of the United States, there lay a magical land called Utah. This land was made of red-rock canyons, salt flats and snow-capped mountains. The sunsets were a splash of candy colors, and the night sky was a blanket of a million sparkling stars. In Utah, lived a group of daring, bold, and absolutely horse-crazy kids. They were known far and wide as the 'Utah Horseback Heroes'. These kids had a secret weapon, their trusty horses. They would saddle-up at the break of dawn and gallop through the wind-kissed deserts, over the green-crested hills, and alongside the babbling brooks. Their laughter echoed through the valleys, their joy evident in the dust clouds that followed them. Among these kids was a unique character known as 'Buckaroo Bob'. Oh, Buckaroo Bob was a sight to see! With his oversized cowboy hat, plaid shirt, and rubber boots that were two sizes too big, he looked more like a scarecrow than a cowboy. But don't let his appearance fool you! Buckaroo Bob was the fastest rider in Utah. He could leap onto his horse, Jellybean, with a single bound and gallop faster than a jackrabbit on a hot griddle. Buckaroo Bob and the Horseback Heroes spent their days exploring Utah's wondrous landscapes, having the most thrilling adventures. Whether they were herding cattle, racing against the wind, or just horsing around, they embraced the spirit of the Old West with a dash of modern kiddish fun. Life in Utah for these kids was one big, wild horseback ride, and they wouldn't have it any other way.

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.
