North Carolina, land of the long-leaf pines, where the dogwoods bloom and the cardinals sing, has a secret. A secret so thrilling it makes the squirrels drop their acorns, and the raccoons stop their rascal antics to watch. You see, scattered in the woods and across the mountains, hidden among the lush greenery, are a series of peculiar structures. These are the rope courses, where the coolest kids in the Tar Heel state hang out. Now, you might think I'm talking about ordinary kids, but no sirree! These are NC kids! They can balance on a tightrope while reciting the state's 100 counties backward. They can swing from vine to vine like mini Tarzans, only stopping to snack on some Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Our hero in this tale is a quirky, magical rabbit named Binky Bun. Binky is no ordinary bunny; he wears a red cape and has a shimmering, golden carrot strapped to his belt. He's exceptionally good at hopscotch (as you can imagine). Binky is the unofficial cheerleader, guide, and super coach for these daring rope coursers. He zips around with a sparkle in his eyes and a bounce in his step, encouraging the kids with his infectious enthusiasm and funny one-liners. One of his favorites is, "Don't worry, you're not going to fall. And even if you do, the ground has agreed to catch you today!" The children laugh, their fears fade, and they navigate the courses with zeal. Amidst the chuckles and cheers, Binky adds a sprinkle of his magical charm to the rope course adventure, making it a highlight for every kid in North Carolina!

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.
At Duke School, we understand what a special opportunity it is to have a summer camp experience. That's why we strive to provide an atmosphere of safety, support, and fun for campers of all ages. Our convenient location in the Triangle makes it easy for families from Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro to join in the fun. We hire only the most qualified and dedicated staff members to ensure that our campers receive the highest quality instruction and mentorship. We are committed to providing a summer of lasting memories and friendships, and we invite all children to join us for a summer of learning, growth, and fun!
At Woodcroft Swim and Tennis Club, we are proud to offer one of the Triangle's premier tennis programs - Durham Tennis Academy (DTA). DTA runs clinics for players of all skill levels and ages, including private lessons and Junior League Play. We have also embraced the R(red)O(orange)G(Green) program, which uses softer, lighter tennis balls to make learning more enjoyable. If you have been looking for a healthy activity to introduce your son or daughter to a sport that can be enjoyed for a lifetime, now is the perfect time to act. Fall junior tennis registration is now open at our website. You can find descriptions and breakdowns for each clinic available, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via email or by phone. We look forward to seeing you on the courts this Fall!
