In the sunny, swampland state of Florida, where alligators sunbathe on golf courses and retirees play bingo on beaches, there exists an extraordinary group of kids. They're not the regular kind who spend their days building sandcastles or chasing geckos. No, these kids participate in something even more exciting - the Aerial Arts! Now, you might be thinking, "Aerial Arts? Is that something to do with drawing clouds or painting sunsets?" Not quite, my curious friend. Aerial Arts is a spectacular blend of athleticism, courage, and creativity. It involves hanging, twirling, and performing tricks on circus apparatus high up in the air. Imagine dangling from a trapeze or spinning like a top on a hanging hoop. Yes, it's as cool as it sounds! The leader of this gravity-defying gang is none other than Captain Skyler, a fearless, freckle-faced Florida native known for his flamingo-pink hair. He can flip through the air, twist around silks, and even do a one-handed handstand on a swaying tightrope. These Aerial Arts kids aren't just brave; they're also hilarious. Once, during a practice session, Captain Skyler, wearing a flamingo costume, attempted to perform a trick called the 'Flamingo Flip.' But instead of flipping, he got twisted in the silks and ended up dangling upside down. Everyone laughed, including Captain Skyler, whose giggles echoed around the practice hall like a flock of giggling seagulls. In Florida, where the sun is always shining, and the oranges are as sweet as the laughter of these daring kids, Aerial Arts is not just an activity; it's an adventure in the sky. So, if you ever find yourself in this magical state, don’t forget to look up. You might just spot Captain Skyler and his hilarious troop flipping through the air with the greatest of ease!

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.
