Once upon a time, in the splendid land of Illinois, with its glittering skyline of Chicago and vast acres of cornfields, there existed a bunch of bright-eyed, merry kids. They were not your average, everyday children, oh no, these kids were part of a magical religious service activity, and boy, did they love it! Now, you must be wondering, "What's so magical about religious service activities?" Ah, that's where our friend, Jiggly Joggle, steps in. You see, Jiggly Joggle is a hilarious, wiggly, giggly jester with a jazzy jingle! He's got a blue hat that jiggles whenever he moves, an orange nose that joggles whenever he laughs, and he always, always, always carries his magic joke book. In Illinois, the kids and Jiggly Joggle would gather under the grand old oak tree on Sundays. With a flick of his joke book, Jiggly Joggle could turn any religious activity into a fun adventure. Bible studies? More like "Bible Treasure Hunts!" Charity work? That's "Kindness Quests," my friend! These kids, they weren't just reading scriptures, they were decoding ancient treasure maps. They weren't just helping others; they were on noble quests. Jiggly Joggle made sure of that. His laughter echoed through the prairies, bounced off the skyscrapers, and traveled across the Mississippi, spreading the spirit of joy, unity, and love that these Illinois kids held in their hearts. Through their religious service activities, they discovered not just the power of faith but also the power of fun, friendship, and of course, a good old Jiggly Joggle giggle!

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.
