Once upon a time, in the delightful land of Illinois, where the cornfields dance in the wind and the Chicago skyscrapers tickle the clouds, there was a tribe of incredible kids known as the "Twirling Tornadoes." These Tornadoes didn’t spin around causing havoc, oh no! They were the masters of all things dance. Every single day, after finishing their homework of course, they would gather in their secret headquarters (a colorful basement in Des Plaines), and dance their hearts out. They hopped and skipped, twirled and swirled, and sometimes, they even moonwalked like Michael Jackson! They were not just any ordinary kids, they were the dancing kings and queens of Illinois! Leading the troupe was a cool, imaginary character named ‘Boogie Woogie Bigfoot.’ The Bigfoot with the twinkling toes! He was a gigantic, furry creature with a disco ball for a heart. He taught the Tornadoes everything about dance, from the Cha-Cha Slide to the Funky Chicken. He didn't have a rule book, only one rule - Dance as if no one’s watching! Now, do not let the word 'Bigfoot' fool you, for he was as graceful as a swan on roller-skates. His moves were so smooth that even the Sears Tower would sway along with his beat. Yes, folks, this was Illinois, where even Bigfoots could boogie, and kids could dance like a dream. It was a land of rhythm, beat and a whole lot of laughter because Boogie Woogie Bigfoot was a believer in belly laughs and not having two left feet!

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.
With the support of the residents, the Lemont Township Park District was established in 1963.
