In the sunshine-drenched state of Florida, where the oranges grow sweeter than a summer's day and the alligators sunbathe like they're retired grandparents, a tribe of adventurous children embark on a wildly exciting activity: rock climbing. These little daredevils, fondly known as the "Sunshine Scramblers", defy gravity and challenge themselves daily to scale the highest artificial rock walls of Florida. With their colorful climbing gear, they look like a flock of tropical parrots, their faces glowing brighter than the neon lights in Miami! Leading the Sunshine Scramblers is Captain Cliff Clamber, an imaginary character who, despite being invisible, has a reputation that's as big as his heart. With a laugh that sounds like a dolphin's chuckle, he guides these young climbers with an experienced, albeit unseen, hand. His favorite saying is, "Climb higher than a flamingo's flight, but remember, safety first, alright?" Captain Cliff Clamber, with his invisible pirate hat and magical chalk dust, encourages the fearless Florida children to conquer every rock wall as if they are searching for hidden treasure. But the real treasure, as our invisible Captain often reminds them, is the bravery they discover within themselves. In this charming land of sandy beaches, swaying palm trees, and thrilling amusement parks, these tight-knit young rock climbers, with their invisible Captain, add a dash of bravery and a sprinkle of laughter. They are a testament to Florida's relentless spirit of adventure, embodying the state's motto, "In God We Trust", as they trust in themselves and each other, one daring climb at a time.

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.
