In the whimsical wonderland of Wisconsin, there's a quirky little character named Wacky Wally, who is known among the kids for his magical music therapy sessions. Ah, Wisconsin! A magnificent marvel of a state; a land of cheery cheese, delightful dairy, and fantastic frozen custard. A place where the sparkling Lake Michigan and majestic Mississippi River hum the tunes of tranquility. Wacky Wally, with his zany zigzag mustache and topsy-turvy top hat, strums his wild and wacky banjo, which he affectionately calls Betsy. He roams the rolling hills of Wisconsin, playing magical melodies that coax even the grumpiest gophers out of their burrows. But his most enthusiastic fans are the kids who participate in his music therapy sessions. These children, full of vim and vigor, hail from every nook and cranny of Wisconsin. They come bounding into each session, their laughter ringing out like the sweetest symphony. From the shores of Sheboygan to Madison's bustling streets, from the peaceful prairies of Prairie du Chien to the bustling city of Milwaukee, these kids share a common bond - a love for Wacky Wally's wonderful, whimsical music therapy. You’ve never seen children so eager to participate in therapy! Under Wally's enchanting musical spell, they learn and grow, their spirits soaring high. They sing in harmony, their voices clear and strong, like an army of chirping birds. And with every strum of Betsy, they feel their worries melt away, replaced by a sense of joy and tranquility. In Wisconsin, where the cows dance, the cheese giggles, and the music heals, there is a place for every kid in Wacky Wally's musical world. Within that zany, joy-filled place, the kids find a rhythm all their own, creating a symphony of laughter, growth, and healing.

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.
