In the magical heartland of America, there lies a lusciously green state known as Wisconsin. It's a place where cows are considered celebrities, people are sweeter than maple syrup, and, believe it or not, cheese is just as valuable as gold! But there's something even more special going on in this dairy wonderland. There's a group of kids who've discovered a secret skill - knitting! Now, don't picture little grannies in rocking chairs. These are not your typical knitting ninjas. They are kids, just like you, armed with rainbow colored yarn and shiny silver needles. They're known as the Woolly Warriors, and they knit like they're creating magical spells. They knit at parks, on school buses, even while eating their favorite cheddar cheese sandwiches. Leading the Woolly Warriors is a cool, imaginary character named Knitnoggin. Knitnoggin is a friendly, laughing llama who wears the most spectacular knitted cap you've ever seen. He's the one who first taught the kids of Wisconsin how to transform ordinary yarn into extraordinary creations. From cozy socks that can make your toes wiggle with joy, to dazzling scarves that can wrap you in a warm hug, Knitnoggin and the kids create it all. But that's not all. The funniest part about Knitnoggin is his magical sneeze. When he sneezes, a flutter of colorful yarn flies out from his nose and instantly becomes a knitted masterpiece. It's a sight that makes everyone chuckle! So, if you ever find yourself in Wisconsin, don’t be surprised if you see a group of kids knitting away, with a sneezing llama in a knitted cap leading the charge!

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.
