Deep in the heart of the wonderful, winding world of West Virginia, where the blue mountains kiss the sky, where the rivers flow like silky ribbons, and where the forests teem with enchanting secrets, lies a group of kids with the passion of fishing twinkling in their eyes. They are the Angler Avengers, the rod-wielding, worm-wiggling wonders of WV, who believe that the greatest tales are told not around a campfire, but at the end of a fishing line. Leading this bunch is Captain Bait Bucket, a rascal with a heart as big as his fishing hat. He's a lad who can make every fishing trip feel like a magnificent sea voyage, and every catch, a sunken treasure. His real name is Billy, but don’t you dare call him that, unless you want your socks to smell like fish for a week! Every dawn, Captain Bait Bucket and his crew, the Angler Avengers, go out to the riverbanks and lakes, their fishing lines dancing in the morning breeze. They are the children of this scenic land, where fish tales are more than mere bedtime stories. They are the laughter that echoes in the valleys, the whispers that rustle the leaves, and the future that swims in the crystalline waters of West Virginia. In this wild and wondrous state, the kids cast their lines of imagination and reel in dreams. They know that fishing is not just about the thrill of the catch, but also about patience, camaraderie, and the magic of nature. Wrapped in the warmth of friendship, under the watchful eyes of Captain Bait Bucket, these Angler Avengers are writing their own chapters in the grand, fishy book of West Virginia.

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.
