In the heartland of the United States, there lies a charming state called North Carolina, also known as NC. Can you imagine a place where the sun often winks at you from behind the Great Smoky Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean waves you a flirty hello? That's NC for you, my friends. This state is as friendly as a bowl of hot grits and as colorful as an autumnal palette. Now let's talk about the most adventurous and brave kids of NC, who dare to dance with fire and glass! Yes, they are the NC glass-workers. They are not ordinary kids; they are magical, like Harry Potter, but with cooler glasses. They partake in a special activity, crafting beautiful pieces of art from molten glass, which is hotter than a dragon's burp! Our main character is Fizzle McWizzle, a 12-year-old with freckles and a gap-toothed grin. Fizzle, with his trusty eye protectors, lovingly named 'Fizzle Goggles', and his magical multi-tool, the 'Whizzler', moulds and shapes scorching hot glass into beautiful artworks. He can create anything, from a majestic glass unicorn to a delicate glass butterfly, so delicate that you'd think it might flutter away. Fizzle and his fellow glass-working wizards are the coolest kids in NC. They handle scorching heat, molten glass, and glaring lights, all for the thrill of creating something beautiful. When they aren't turning glass into art, they are outside, playing tag amongst the loblolly pines or fishing in the Cape Fear River, their laughter echoing across the state. Beware, dear readers! Don't underestimate these kids, for they are as fearless as a honey badger wearing a leather jacket, and as creative as a rainbow that decided to add a few extra colors for fun. They are the fiery, glass-working marvels of 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.
