In the teeny-tiny, eternally-green state of Vermont, where maple syrup flows like rivers and leaves change more colors than a chameleon in a disco, there’s a merry band of kids known as the Little Lumberjacks. These aren't your regular rugrats, oh no! They are the premier purveyors of petite paraphernalia, the young yodas of woodworking, the crafty creators of cool carpentry. Under the watchful gaze of their mentor, Sir Splinters McChips, a charmingly gruff yet surprisingly dapper beaver, the Little Lumberjacks spend their days honing their skills. Sir Splinters, with his top hat jauntily placed atop his head and a monocle that magnifies his mischievous eye, teaches them the fine art of woodworking. The kids, armed with their mini-tool belts and safety goggles, chisel and carve, sand and polish with the same dedication as the legendary Green Mountain Boys. They transform ordinary pieces of wood into extraordinary masterpieces, from elaborate treehouses to miniature rocking horses, tiny canoes to pint-sized picnic tables. But beware, the Pine Cone Prankster is always lurking around. This mischievous squirrel, known for his love of all things shiny and his knack for causing playful chaos, often tries to swipe their tools. But the Little Lumberjacks always manage to outsmart him, turning his pranks into lessons on teamwork and ingenuity. In Vermont, where the air is always filled with the scent of fresh pine and the laughter of children, these Little Lumberjacks are not just passing the time; they're crafting a lifetime of memories and building their dreams, one tiny nail at a time.

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.
