In the vibrant state of Illinois, where the skyscrapers stretch towards the clouds and the cornfields dance with the wind, a group of talented kids participate in a unique, captivating activity: Aikido. They aren't your regular neighborhood kids; they are the "Aikido Adventurers,” guided by their wise and slightly peculiar sensei, Mr. Flibberjibbit. Oh, Mr. Flibberjibbit is a sight to behold! With a bright yellow moustache, as large as a lion's mane, and a pair of polka-dotted socks, always mismatched, he's known to carry a spark in his eyes and a trick up his sleeve. His funny, eccentric demeanor makes Aikido lessons full of laughter and unexpected surprises! These Aikido Adventurers hail from the bustling city of Chicago, the tranquil banks of the Illinois River, and the charming towns dotted across the state. Each kid has their own unique flair, but they all share a common goal – to master the art of Aikido and to have a blast while doing it. Oh, their Aikido moves are not just the usual twirls and flips! Imagine a whirlwind of laughter, a tornado of excitement, and a hurricane of energy. That's what it looks like when the Illinois Aikido Adventurers are in action. They flip, twist, and twirl, all while giggling and making the silliest faces. They're not just learning martial arts; they're also making memories, building friendships, and growing stronger together!

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.
