Florida, the sunshine state, is a magical land where the sun always seems to be playing peek-a-oo with the cotton candy clouds. Imagine it as a gigantic sandcastle, where the ocean waves gently nip at its edges, while palm trees sway like enthusiastic cheerleaders. The air smells of salt, sunshine, and the sweetest citrus you can imagine. It's a place where kids can swap their sneakers for flip-flops and trade their snow coats for sunblock. Now, meet our main character - Captain Flapjack, a jolly, sunburnt pelican with a hat that's three times too big for his head. He's Florida's unofficial guide for all the kids who love to explore and have a taste for nature. He organizes expeditions for the bravest little adventurers, leading them through the lush Everglades, spotting the elusive Florida panther or observing the alligators, who often look like they're grinning. Captain Flapjack also arranges snorkeling tours so kids can meet the colorful residents of the coral reefs. He always has a funny story to share, like the time he accidentally used a starfish as a frisbee or when he mistook a manatee for a floating couch! But the best adventure, according to Captain Flapjack, is when the sun goes down, and the bioluminescent water glows under the star-filled sky. It's a sight that can tickle your imagination and make you laugh out loud with sheer delight. So, if you're a kid in Florida ready for a wild, weird, and wonderfully wet adventure, strap on your explorer's hat and join Captain Flapjack for a nature-filled escapade you'll never forget!

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.
