In the land of the cheese heads, where the air is as crisp as a freshly picked McIntosh apple and rivers are as clear as a glass of mom's lemonade, lies the terrific state of Wisconsin. This delightful land is filled with cheese, cows, and Packers fans. But it's also known for its beautiful lakes and rivers. For the kids of Wisconsin, there’s a special magic that happens when they pick up a fishing rod. Oh, and have you met WisconSam? He’s a plump, friendly Badger with a fishing hat that always seems a tad too big for his furry head. WisconSam loves fishing and he’s the self-proclaimed "Fishing Mentor" for all the kids in Wisconsin. He’s as funny as a clown in a tickle fight, always ready with a comical tale about the time he tangled with a fish as big as a football player. Every morning, he gathers all the young fishing enthusiasts and takes them on a remarkable journey. They listen carefully as WisconSam tells hilarious tales of the elusive ‘Cheezy Cheddar Carp’ or the ‘Bratwurst Bass’ that lurk in the waters. The kids cast their lines with giggles, carefully holding their fishing rods, their eyes filled with sparkles of hope and excitement. They wait patiently, hoping to reel in a big one. From the giggling shores of Lake Superior to the chuckling waters of the Mississippi River, the laughter of kids echoes all across Wisconsin. While they might not always catch the biggest fish, they always end up with the biggest smiles.

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.
