Once upon a time, in the heartland of America, was the vibrant and verdant state of Virginia. It was a place known for its rich history and natural beauty, where the mighty Blue Ridge Mountains shook hands with the sparkling Atlantic Ocean. But it wasn't just the breathtaking landscapes that made Virginia special. Oh no! It was the boys and girls who had an insatiable curiosity and a thirst for knowledge, particularly in the exciting world of STEM/STEAM that truly made this state shine. Meet Volt, a whacky wizard of Virginia with twinkling eyes, a pointy hat, and a lightning bolt-shaped beard. Volt knew something magical was happening in Virginia. A wonderful wave of children, as bright as the stars in the Milky Way, had begun exploring Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) with great enthusiasm. These were no ordinary kids, oh no, these were Virginia's very own 'STEM-sters'. They tinkered with technology, engineered extraordinary machines, conducted curious experiments, created amazing art, and solved mind-boggling math problems. And the best part? They did all this while laughing, learning, and letting their imagination run wild! Volt watched in amazement as these kids built robots, designed video games, conducted chemical reactions, and used math to solve real-world problems. They would often turn their own homes into secret laboratories, their backyards into spaceship building stations and their classrooms into magical realms of knowledge. All the while, their laughter and excitement echoed through the valleys of Virginia, showing the world the true power of learning and fun. Virginia, the state of beautiful landscapes and brilliant minds, was now also the home of the world's most adventurous 'STEM-sters'. And the wizard Volt? Well, he couldn't be prouder, as he flew across the state on his techno-magic broomstick, spreading the joy of STEM/STEAM to every corner.

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 Abrakadoodle, we strive to spark kids’ imaginations while thinking, creating, discovering, problem solving, and building confidence. We want these kids to grow up to be creative adults who invent, imagine and communicate in fresh new ways. We bet you do too!
