Connecticut, also known as the "Nutmeg State," is a magical land where rivers flow like melted silver, castles rise from the ocean, and pizza is considered a culinary masterpiece. It is a place where the leaves burst into a symphony of colors every fall, and the snowflakes dance a ballet in the winter. The people of Connecticut are known for their love of books, basketball, and, of course, their unusual obsession with hamburgers. In this enchanting land, there lives a group of kids, as diverse and colorful as the state's scenery. They are the Knights of the Pencil, champions of creativity, who wield their imaginations like swords, turning words into fantastic stories filled with dragons, aliens, superheroes, and sometimes, a very confused squirrel named Nutty. Nutty, with his fluffy tail and googly eyes, is quite a character himself. He doesn't understand why he can't store his acorns in people's shoes or why humans don't hibernate during winter. Nutty is always up to some nutty adventures, and his mishaps often find their way into the stories crafted by the Knights of the Pencil. These kids from Connecticut, like Nutty, are anything but ordinary. They can transform a rainy day into an epic tale of battling sea monsters or a trip to the grocery store into an exciting quest for the last box of cookies. They believe that each word they write is a drop of magic, and when they come together, they create an ocean of fantastical tales that make the Nutmeg State a little bit nuttier and a whole lot more magical.

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.
