In the Great Prairie State of Illinois, tucked between vast cornfields and towering skyscrapers, there lives a band of extraordinary youngsters. These aren't your ordinary, everyday children. No, sir! These are the Judo Giants of Illinois, a group of kids with a knack for the ancient Japanese martial art of Judo. Our story starts in the bustling city of Chicago, covering its skyscrapers like an army of ants. Here, in a room filled with colorful mats, you'll find our spunky protagonists. They're easily recognizable by their white Gi (Judo uniforms) and their eyes sparkling with determination. They may be small, but their spirits are as vast as the Illinois plains. Among these titans in training, there is one who stands out, our hero, Judo Jerry. Jerry isn't your average Illinois kid. You see, Jerry has a secret power - when he ties his Judo belt, he transforms into an unstoppable Judo genius! Jerry might stumble over his shoelaces or forget his homework, but when it comes to Judo, he's as swift as a city squirrel. Each day, these Judo Giants tumble and roll, practicing their moves with infectious laughter and unstoppable energy. They're more than just a club. They're a family, bound by mutual respect and the spirit of Judo. Their laughter echoes across the Great Lakes, their determination as mighty as the Mississippi. So, next time you're in Illinois, listen closely. If you hear a distant echo of laughter and the soft thud of bodies tumbling on mats, you've found our heroes - the Judo Giants of Illinois. They might be small, but their hearts are as vast as their home state. Together, they're on a mission to spread the joy of Judo across the Land of Lincoln, one throw at a time.

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.
