Beneath the great, sprawling expanse of the Texas sky, where the sun blazes like a mighty cowboy's campfire and the breeze whispers tales of the old west, a gang of plucky Texan kids gather. They’re not here to wrangle cattle or hunt for gold. Oh no, they’ve got a much more thrilling adventure in mind. They’re about to tackle the towering rope course at 'Rusty Rattlesnake's Rambunctious Rodeo', the wildest, wobbliest, most wowie-zowie rope course in the whole Lone Star State. First, there's Billy "The Bandit" Boots, a 10-year-old with a wild mop of hair as untamed as a bucking bronco. He’s as fearless as a rattlesnake in a square dance. Then comes Tex "Tornado" Tucker, on a whirlwind quest to conquer every rope, every net, and every zip-line that dares cross his path. Tagging along is Lil' Lasso Lucy, the youngest of the bunch, but with a heart as mighty as a longhorn steer. Dusty trails of laughter follow them as they climb higher and higher, navigating through rickety bridges and swinging ropes, their excitement echoing off the vast plains of Texas. They clamber with the tenacity of tumbleweeds in a windstorm, eyes gleaming with determination and wild Texas grit. Suddenly, there's a rustle, a chuckle, a tumble of cowboy boots. It’s their imaginary friend, Rusty Rattlesnake himself, sliding down a zip-line with a wild whoop! He's as slippery as a greased piglet on fair day, and twice as mischievous. "Y'all better hold on to your cowboy hats!" Rusty hoots, his laughter spinning into the hot Texas air. And with that, the adventure continues, as the sun dips low over the Texans' daring rope course escapade under the watchful eyes of their sneaky snake pal.

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.
