In the golden state of Illinois, tucked snuggly between the flourishing cornfields and the bustling Windy City, a unique group of kids has taken to a most extraordinary pursuit - Krav Maga! Now, you might be asking yourself, ‘What in the haystack is Krav Maga?’ Well, my friend, it’s a type of martial art, a no-nonsense system of self-defense that was originally developed for the Israel military. But here in Illinois, it’s mostly practiced by a league of super cool kids, each with their own nifty code name. Take 'Tornado Tommy,' for instance. He's a freckle-faced nine-year-old with hair as fiery as a summer sunset. He has the uncanny ability to spin like a cyclone, causing bigger kids to topple like bowling pins. And then there's 'Cheetah Charlotte,' a ten-year-old speedster who can dodge punches faster than a tumbleweed in a dust storm. Their leader is 'Captain Cornstalk,' a tall, skinny, twelve-year-old with an infectious grin and glasses as thick as soda bottle bottoms. He may look as harmless as a scarecrow, but when it comes to Krav Maga, he’s a real whiz kid. He's known for his famous 'Corn-on-the-Cob' move. He twirls around like a cob of corn on a drill, sending opponents scattering like crows in a cornfield. In Illinois, Krav Maga isn’t just about punching and kicking; it’s about laughter, friendship, and learning to stand up for oneself. And even though these kids might seem like ordinary Illinoisans, in their Krav Maga classes, they become superheroes in their own right!

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.
