In the charming state of North Carolina, where the Appalachian Mountains whisper ancient tales and the Atlantic Ocean sings the song of the surf, there exists an extraordinary tribe of children. They are the brave and daring, the hilarious and slightly crazed, they are... the Gaga Ball Warriors! Hmm, you might wonder, what in the world is a Gaga Ball Warrior? Well, my curious friend, let me enlighten you. These courageous children are the masters of the most thrilling game that has ever graced the playgrounds of North Carolina - Gaga Ball. It's a game of fast feet, quick thinking, and a whole lot of laughter. Meet our main Gaga Ball Warrior, a sprightly lad named Bubba. Bubba, with his mop of wild, untamed hair that matches the smoky blue of the Carolina sky, was the reigning champion of Gaga Ball. He was as quick as a squirrel, as crafty as a fox, and as funny as a stand-up comedian on a sugar high. Bubba's signature move was the "Tar Heel Tornado." With a twinkle in his sky-blue eyes, he'd whirl around like a miniature hurricane, sending the Gaga Ball zipping across the playground and his opponents running for the hills. Every day, under the golden Carolina sun and the watchful eyes of the Great Smoky Mountains, the Gaga Ball Warriors would gather in huddled, excited groups, ready for their daily dose of laughter, friendly competition, and a whole lot of dirt. Whether they won or they lost, the Gaga Ball Warriors knew that they'd always end the day with a lot of fun, a ton of memories, and just a little bit of North Carolina sunshine in their pockets.

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.
