In the fantastical land of UT, nestled between soaring mountains and vast desert landscapes, little minds brimmed with creativity and imagination. The stars in the night sky sparkled brighter and the sun blazed more brilliantly due to the artistic energy radiating from the heart of the state. The children of UT were no ordinary kids. They were led by a quirky character named Crafty Cactus Carl, who was, as you might guess, a talking cactus with a top hat and a love for all things artsy. His needles weren’t prickly, but instead served as paintbrushes, knitting needles, and everything in between. He was as colorful as the state's wild sunsets, with a jovial spirit that inspired all kids to create the most magical art and crafts. One day you'd see them knitting a scarf for the Rocky Mountain goats and the next, they would be painting a portrait of Delicate Arch using colors from the sunrise. It was heaps of fun and endless giggles. Crafty Cactus Carl would often burst into hearty laughter, his googly eyes nearly rolling out of his head, as the kids crafted the most whimsical and wacky art pieces. In UT, art and crafts were a superpower, and every child was a superhero. They could transform sand into sandcastles, twigs into dolls, and stones into storytelling canvases. The creativity flowing through UT was as powerful as the mighty Colorado River. Their masterpieces were as breathtaking as the vistas from Bryce Canyon. And of course, at the center of all the fun and creativity was Crafty Cactus Carl, their colorful, laugh-out-loud funny, and incredibly inspirational guide.

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.
Camp Hobé offers psychosocial support for children with cancer and similarly-treated disorders and their families, through summer camps and family outings. Our mission is to create an atmosphere that enhances self-esteem, fosters independence and friendships, and creates a feeling of belonging. Camp Hobé gives these families the opportunity to participate in activities just like those whose families are not affected by these illnesses. The summer camp program provides medical and psychosocial supervision to ensure children are safe both mentally and physically during camp.
