In the cheese-loving, cow-dotted land of Wisconsin, there existed a quirky gang of kids who were not just expert in gobbling up cheese curds and bratwurst but also in playing Field Hockey. Imagine a place where the cows moo like supportive cheerleaders and the fields look like massive green checkerboards, that's Wisconsin for you! The leader of this gang was a lively sprite named “Cheesy Cheddar Charlie”. Charlie, as you might guess, smelled slightly of cheese, but that's because he always had a wheel of the sharpest cheddar in his hockey bag. With his cheesehead hat and hockey stick, he led his team of cheese-loving comrades, spreading laughter and fun on the hockey field. These Wisconsin whippersnappers are as sharp as the cheddar they munch on, and as bold as the famous Wisconsin blue cheese. They might have funny names like "Bucky Badger Ben", "Jumping Jack Cheese Jill" and "Mozzarella Mike", but their field hockey skills are seriously impressive. They could dribble, pass, and shoot with their hockey sticks as beautifully as the way they sliced their favorite cheese. But don't think for a second it's all just fun and games. When they are in the field, they turn as tough as a block of aged Swiss. Dodging opponents, they'd sprint across the field like crazed squirrels, their laughter echoing amidst the roars of mooing cows in the backdrop. Despite their quirks, their determination and teamwork is something that would make even the Green Bay Packers envious. So, if you ever find yourself in Wisconsin, look for the crazy, cheese-chomping kids who play field hockey like their lives depend on it. And remember, they aren't just kids, they're Wisconsin’s ‘Cheese Chasers’!

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.
