Nestled within the enchanting, green heart of the United States is a magical place named Vermont, home to vast, luscious forests, glistening lakes, and towering, snow-capped mountains. A land where the maple syrup flows like rivers and the cheese is as famous as the popstars! It's the realm of epic snowball fights, tree hugging contests, and the world's most daring squirrel chases. Now, if you were to venture into these sprawling outdoor playgrounds, you'd find Vermont's most adventurous explorers, the nature-loving kids! These brave adventurers have an undying spirit of curiosity and an insatiable thirst for fun. They're not your ordinary youngsters, oh no, they're the masters of making mud pies, professional puddle jumpers, and the world's greatest leaf boat captains. Leading these marvellous escapades is the legendary character, Captain Greenbeard. Don't let the name fool you, his beard is not really green. It just gets that way when he dives face-first into a pile of fresh, dew-kissed leaves every morning! He's a tall, lanky fellow with a twinkle in his eyes brighter than the North Star, and a laughter that could make a grumpy old bear crack a smile. Captain Greenbeard is the undisputed champion of tree-climbing, the Picasso of pinecone art, and could tell you if a cloud is a cumulus or cirrus quicker than a frog can catch a fly. With a compass in one hand, and a sketchbook in the other, he guides the troops through the wilderness, turning every trip into a grand, giggly adventure. Together with their fearless leader, the kids of Vermont are the true keepers of the wild, making each day a new page in the fantastical story of nature.

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.
