In the fantastic, evergreen state of Washington, where the Pacific Ocean winks at Mount Rainier, a group of extraordinary children embark on tremendous hiking adventures. These young explorers, known as the "Evergreen Trekkers", are no ordinary kids, they possess a unique ability to sniff out trails like no one else. In a place where apples grow as big as basketballs and the rain sometimes sings, these kids are the ultimate outdoor superheroes. The leader of this merry band is a little girl named Sally Sock-Hopper. Now, don't be fooled by her name. Sally doesn't hop around in socks. No, sir! She got her name because every time she hikes, her socks magically change color, depending on the trail she's on. In the dense rainforest trails, they turn as green as pickle ice cream, and in the dry deserts of eastern Washington, they become as brown as chocolate milk. Her best friend is a boy named Benny "The Beeping" Beaker. Benny carries a beeping thermos that whistles old folk songs when the water inside boils, signalling that it's time for a hot chocolate break. The thermos, a gift from his quirky grandmother, also doubles as a compass, always guiding them back home. Together, they lead the Evergreen Trekkers on awe-inspiring journeys across Washington's varied landscapes, over mountains that touch the clouds, through enchanting old-growth forests, around serene lakes and even into the depths of mystic caves. No two hikes are ever the same, each one filled with laughter, occasional tumbles, and a generous helping of fun. They are a testament to the true spirit of Washington - adventurous, diverse, and never dull.

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.
