In the ever enchanting and slightly nutty land of Connecticut, also known as the Nutmeg State, there exists a whimsical, zany character named Doodly-Drop. Doodly-Drop, with his rainbow colored hair, polka-dotted suspenders, and shoes that squeak like a rubber duck, is the official ambassador of Art & Crafts. He can turn a simple acorn into a masterpiece and a leaf into a canvas. He was known to sneeze confetti and hiccup glitter, all in the name of art! Now, children in Connecticut aren't your average run-of-the-mill kids. Oh no, these children are uniquely extraordinary, just like their friend Doodly-Drop. They possess a magical spark, a keen sense of curiosity and imagination that makes every Art & Craft session a crazy, fun-filled adventure. Armed with paintbrushes, crayons, and endless rolls of colorful tape, these kids are ready to create the unimaginable. In the tranquil town squares, along the shimmering Long Island Sound, or in the shadow of the majestic Sleeping Giant State Park, you'll find these little artists with their heads bowed, brows furrowed in deep concentration, crafting their masterpieces. Whether it's a spaceship made from recyclable cartons, a fairy princess outfit designed with shiny sequins and feathers, or a cardboard castle that would make any squirrel green with envy, these kids never cease to amaze. And Doodly-Drop, well, he's always there, cheering them on, turning their mistakes into giggles, and teaching them that in the world of art, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents. So, if you ever find yourself in the Nutmeg State, don't forget to seek out Doodly-Drop and the incredibly creative kids of Connecticut. Be ready for an arty party like no other!

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.
Our innovative children's activities provide a unique and enjoyable learning experience for ages 3 and up. Elena Bigio and Ed Mokoski have designed a variety of activities for parents to choose from, including art, sensory exploration, and science.

Plus, we can even bring the fun to you with our Sizzling Science birthday party packages!
