Once upon a time, in the nature-kissed state of Wisconsin, vibrant with brilliant shades of green and blue, lived a bunch of cool, curious, and incredibly adventurous kids. These were no ordinary kids, for they were the trusted companions of the legendary character, Whiskers the Witty Woodchuck. Whiskers, with his twinkling eyes and chuckling laughter, was an expert in unveiling the wonders of the natural world for his little friends. Our story begins on a sunny day in Wisconsin, the land of cheese, cherries, and captivating natural beauty. The kids from the charming towns and bustling cities, often found themselves on extraordinary escapades with Whiskers. They explored the dense forests, raced along the sparkling rivers, and climbed the highest bluffs. They even had a secret handshake, which included a series of tail wiggles and paw bumps inspired by Whiskers. These Wisconsin kids, they knew how to give even the loons, the state bird, a run for their money, in terms of their love for nature! They were always up to their ears in interesting activities, be it leaf racing in the rivers, making flower crowns, or turning fallen trees into pirate ships. And boy, were they good at mud-pie making! With Whiskers the Witty Woodchuck as their humorous guide, the kids of Wisconsin would often be found with their cheeks rosy from laughter and their hearts full of love for their state’s beautiful outdoors. On every such adventure, they discovered a new story, a new lesson, and a new love for the natural world. For in Wisconsin, every child knew, the best classroom was the great outdoors! And so, the days passed filled with laughter, adventure, and a whole lot of Wisconsin wilderness!

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.
