Deep within the heart of the United States, nestled like a twinkling jewel among the shimmering Great Lakes, lies the magical kingdom of Ohio. No ordinary kingdom, mind you; this one’s extraordinary, brimming with rolling fields, bustling cities, and funny little Buckeye nuts that people adore. But the real magic, the most enchanting part of Ohio, lies with its inhabitants, the brave and brilliant kids who are part of the Theatre/Drama activity. Meet our hero, Sir Laughsalot, a young lad from Cincinnati with a passion for Drama and a knack for cracking everyone up. Sir Laughsalot, armed with his trusty script, transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. One moment, he's a fierce dragon in Cleveland, the next, he's a charming prince in Columbus, and just when you think you've seen it all, he morphs into a talking Buckeye nut in Dayton. His imagination is wilder than the roller coasters in Sandusky, and just as exciting! Amid the laughter and applause, though, Sir Laughsalot and his band of merry drama kids work incredibly hard. They rehearse till their lines are as smooth as the Scioto River and their performances brighter than a summer day in Toledo. They create magical worlds on stage that make everyone forget they're actually in a school auditorium and not in a far-off imaginary land. This, dear reader, is the enchanting charm of Ohio, where every day is a thrilling play and every kid an incredible performer. So, if you ever find yourself in this magical kingdom, remember to grab a bag of popcorn, find a seat, and enjoy the show. Because in Ohio, the world is a stage, and the kids, well, they’re the shining stars!

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.
