In the magical land of IA, also known as Iowa, where cornfields sway like ocean waves and silos stand tall like enchanted castles, there exists a bunch of cool kids; the Scribble Squad! Now these aren't your ordinary children, oh no! They possess a magical gift - the power of imagination, spilling into words and stories, making their pens mightier than any sword. The leader of the Scribble Squad is a young boy named Captain Cornstalk. With his yellow hair as bright as the local cornfields and a twinkle in his eye brighter than the North star, he inspires his crew to dream big and write bigger! On his trusty steed, a giant rooster named Clucks-a-lot, he soars over the Iowa plains, seeking adventure and inspiration for their next epic tales. Their meetings take place in a secret den, hidden in the mystical heart of an old barn. There, lit by the soft glow of fireflies, the air hums with creativity as their pens dance on paper, each word a testament to their boundless imagination. From thrilling tales of hay bale heists to legendary accounts of heroic pigs, they weave stories that make the local old folks chuckle; even grumpy old Farmer Fred cracks a smile! These writing wizards of Iowa add spice to the tranquility of their state, proving that amidst the cornfields and the tranquil Des Moines River, magic seeps into the everyday. Their stories, as varied and vibrant as Iowa's seasons, leave everyone wondering, "What will they come up with next?" So, if you ever find yourself in the enchanting state of IA, listen closely, for the wind might just carry the whispers of the Scribble Squad’s next fantastical adventure!

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.
