The great state of Massachusetts, or as our hero, the whimsical Whiskered Walrus (who, by the way, had once mistakenly referred to it as Massa-two-sheds), is home to an abundance of little adventurers, known as the Mighty Mass Hikers. These pint-sized explorers are as brave as they are curious, lacing up their hiking boots to discover the enchanted forests, shimmering lakes, and towering mountains that make up their magical playground. Massachusetts, with its four distinct seasons, offers an ever-changing backdrop for their adventures. During the autumn months, the trees explode into a riot of reds, oranges, and yellows, making the forests look like they've been kissed by a rainbow. In winter, the landscapes transform into a snowy wonderland, perfect for making snow angels or having epic snowball fights. Spring brings a carpet of wildflowers, and summer means it's time to dip toes into the cool lakes. Now, these Mighty Mass Hikers aren't like regular kids. No, sir! They can detect the faintest twinkle of a fairy wing behind a leaf or hear the softest whisper of a gnome hiding in a tree trunk. With compasses in hand and backpacks filled with snacks (you can't explore on an empty stomach, after all), they march into the wilderness, ready to uncover its secrets. But don't be fooled by their size! These little adventurers have hearts as vast and spirited as the Atlantic Ocean, which brushes the shores of their beloved state. Be it rescuing a clumsy squirrel or helping a lost sprite get back home, the Mighty Mass Hikers are always ready for a heroic deed. Together with the Whiskered Walrus, they continue to fill the storybook of Massachusetts with their exciting escapades.

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.
