In the bustling, twinkling state of New York, where skyscrapers reach up to tickle the clouds and yellow taxis play tag on the streets, there exists a band of intrepid adventurers known as the "Melodic Marauders". They are not superheroes with capes nor wizards with wands, but a group of children who weave magic with melodies and harmonies. These are the kids who participate in music activities, creating symphonies in the city that never sleeps. Our story begins on a typical Tuesday afternoon. The leader of the Melodic Marauders, a spunky, bespectacled girl named Beatrice, was tuning her violin in Central Park. Beatrice, known as "Beat" by her friends, had a musical prowess that could make a Broadway star giddy. But it was her sense of humor that kept her band together, often cracking jokes that would make even a stoic Statue of Liberty chuckle! Meanwhile, on the other side of the park, there was the energetic, blue-haired percussionist, Max, who could drum rhythms on anything from park benches to hot-dog stands. His beats were as infectious as his laughter, and he was as known for his catchy rhythms as he was for his love of hot dogs. From the hustle of Times Square to the tranquillity of the Adirondacks, these New York kids created music that made hearts dance and spirits soar. They explored every nook and cranny of their state, making music with everything they found, from the jingle of change in a subway performer's hat to the rustling of leaves in an upstate forest. The Melodic Marauders, with their tunes, laughter, and unbreakable bond, celebrated the magic of music in the Empire State.

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.
