Once upon a time, in the teeny, tiny, totally terrific state of Connecticut, there was a group of kids who were mad about Robotics! They were called the "Circuit Surfers," and they were as different as M&Ms in a candy store. Some were whizzes in math, some were science sorcerers, and some were just bonkers about building stuff. Yet, they all had one thing in common. They loved robots more than ice cream on a hot summer day. Dotted with charming towns and lush green forests, Connecticut was the perfect backdrop for this robotic extravaganza. The Circuit Surfers didn't just build robots; they made them dance, do chores, and even tell jokes! The robots were like their metal and wire pets, except they didn't need to be walked three times a day or have a stinky litter box. The star of the show was undoubtedly Captain Codex, a flamboyant robot with a metallic top hat and a penchant for breaking into Broadway show tunes. The Circuit Surfers built him with so much care, he had a personality as bright as a thousand LEDs. Captain Codex would often be found in the center of all the action, bursting into song, "I am the very model of a modern Major-General, I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral." The kids would roar with laughter, their cheeks hurting from smiling too much. So, in this snug little corner of the world, the Circuit Surfers and Captain Codex continued their robotic adventures. Every day was filled with laughter, learning and the occasional loose bolt. And through it all, the children of Connecticut showed that when it comes to Robotics, they were the whiz kids to beat!

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.
