You will not be bored during your week at Frontier Ranch. You get to fly down our 300+ foot zip line, ride our 50cc off-road motorcycles, and learn to make amazing new crafts, along with many more activities during your week at camp! Our skits and games will give you some great memories and make you laugh so hard your side will ache. Become friends with your counselor who will guide you through your memorable week. Frontier Ranch, a life-changing week of getting to know an amazing God, making new friends, and having a blast, is the place to be this summer.

Scholarships

Camp is for everybody! Don’t let finances stand in the way of sending your child to camp this summer. Frontier Ranch is partnering with Kay Trust, a scholarship fund that helps many families send their children to camp each year.

Head over to their website, fill out the form, and Kay Trust will contact you when your paperwork has gone through. If you were recently unemployed because of the pandemic, please let Kay Trust know in the notes section, they will be taking that into consideration of your application.

In the meantime, you are welcome to continue camp registration. Once you have reached the payment options, if the cost of the deposit is preventing you from signing up, send an email to campregistrar@missionsprings.com and let us know that you are waiting for your Kay Trust application to come through. Then you have all of your information in and ready to go when your application comes through. 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How are campers put into groups? Can they request to be with a friend?

    Campers are placed into stable groups of 12 with 1 staff member. Stable means that the group of campers will stay the same each day for the whole week, they will also have the same consistent leader.

    Due to the social and developmental differences of children, we group them within 1 grade above or below.

    Campers may request to be grouped with a friend while at Day Camp. Some age restrictions do apply. It is the responsibility of all parents involved to arrange with all other parents involved so as to have matching request lists. If lists do not match or if camp has filled before requests are received, friend requests may not work out. Requests made after the initial registration may not be honored. Even though we will make every effort to honor requests.

    Mission Springs makes no guarantees with respect to friend requests.

  • What about sanitation?

    We have several large hand-washing stations and hand sanitizer.

    Cleaning of bathroom facilities happens twice a day.
