In the sunny and enchanting state of Florida, the land of dreamy beaches and enchanting amusement parks, a magical phenomenon occurs every single day. A colorful legion of art and craft enthusiasts, affectionately referred to as ‘Crafty Critters,’ come alive. These aren’t ordinary kids, oh no, they are extraordinary creators who conjure up a storm of colors, shapes, and patterns that could even make a rainbow blush! Leading the Crafty Critters parade is the incredible and wildly imaginative, Sir Doodle-doo. Sir Doodle-doo, a hilarious flamingo with an artist's beret permanently perched atop his head, wields a magical paintbrush. He's not your ordinary flamingo, as he’s spotted in polka dots instead of the usual pink, thanks to a hilarious mishap with a paint bucket. Sir Doodle-doo, with his squawking chuckles and paint-splattered feathers, guides all the young Crafty Critters of Florida. He takes them on an incredible journey through the world of colors and crafts. From designing superhero capes out of old t-shirts to making sandcastles that can withstand the highest tides, there’s no creative challenge too big for these Floridian craft masters. Our Crafty Critters and Sir Doodle-doo frolic and laugh under the warm Florida sun, their hands joyously busy, creating art that's as vibrant as the state's sunsets. The rest of the animal kingdom watches in awe and a whole lot of amusement, as these young Crafty Critters, guided by a polka-dotted flamingo, continue to redefine art, one craft at a time. So, the next time you find yourself in Florida, look out for Sir Doodle-doo and the Crafty Critters. You'll know them by the trail of glitter, the laughter, and the creativity that takes flight under the Florida sky.

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.
