In the sunshine-soaked state of Florida, where palm trees sway like dancing ballerinas and oranges fall from trees like tiny sunsets, there exists a band of wild-eyed, straight-shooting, arrow-slinging children. These kids, known far and wide as the 'Bowstring Buccaneers', are the finest archers from Miami to Tallahassee, their arrows whistle through the air faster than a thunderbolt! The leader of this quirky crew is a tall, lanky boy named Freddie 'Fletch' Fletcher. With a mop of flaming red hair and freckles scattered across his nose like the Milky Way, Fletch is as funny as a flamingo doing the floss. Imagine if Robin Hood and a flamingo had a wild, hilarious baby – that would be Fletch. His arrows don't just fly; they whizz through the air, crackling with energy, zipping by startled flamingos, and hit the bullseye so hard it screams for mercy! But it's not all serious shooting for these Bowstring Buccaneers. They celebrate each bullseye with a whoop that echoes through the Floridian marshlands and high-five with their bows. They even have a secret handshake that involves a lot of elbow-twisting, bow-twirling, and ends in an explosion of giggles. So, if ever you find yourself in Florida, where the sun always shines brighter than a blushing orange and silly seagulls play tag with the waves, listen for the whooshing whistle of an arrow and the laughter of the Bowstring Buccaneers. You never know, they might just let you join their band of merry, arrow-slinging adventurers!

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.
