Once upon a time, in the bustling, buzzing heart of the United States, known as Washington D.C, there existed a unique little spot called the ‘Kiddie Farmer's Market’. This wasn't your ordinary farmer's market, oh no! It was a magical place run by pint-sized humans, who had sprouted as strong and resilient as the plants they grew. These were the farming kiddos of DC, a group of youngsters who were as delightful and diverse as the fruits and vegetables they cultivate. Each with a unique story, just like their favorite produce. There was Sally, the Strawberry Queen, famous for her succulent ruby-red strawberries that melted in your mouth like a sweet summer sundae. And then there was Timmy Tomato, whose tomatoes were rumored to be so juicy, one single bite could hydrate you for a whole day! At the heart of this green-thumbed gang was their fearless leader, Mortimer Mole. Now, Mortimer wasn't your average mole. Our Mortie wore glasses as thick as bottle bottoms, and a green beret that was always slightly askew. He was a mole with a mission, leading this bunch of enthusiastic young farmers to grow the most fantastical fruits and vegetables DC had ever seen. From dawn to dusk, they worked, giggling and digging, planting and picking, selling and swapping their bounty. And Mortimer, with his shiny glasses and beret, was right there in the mix, a mole among men... I mean, kids! These were no ordinary children. They were the farming superheroes of DC, turning the city a hue of green one veggie at a time. Because in DC, even in the midst of all the skyscrapers and hustle, you could still find a patch of magic at the Kiddie Farmer's Market.

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.
