Deep in the heart of the grand and glorious state of Wisconsin, where cheese is celebrated like gold and the Packers are hailed as heroes, there exists a group of extraordinary kids with a passion as big as their love for butter burgers. Let's call them the ‘Cheddar Pedalers.’ And who leads this adventurous bunch, you ask? None other than the legendary, cycling-obsessed, cheese-loving character known as ‘Wheelie Wonka.’ Wheelie Wonka, with his helmet shaped like a cheese wedge and a bright yellow cycling suit, is a sight to behold. His bike, fondly known as ‘The Big Cheese,' is as dazzling as the setting sun over Lake Michigan. Wheelie and the Cheddar Pedalers love to zoom through the magnificent Wisconsin landscapes, from the bustling city streets of Milwaukee to the serene trails of Door County, their laughter echoing through the forest trails and city parks. On these thrilling journeys, they pedal through dairy farms, snacking on cheese curds and sipping root beer from the local A&W. They race along the beautiful shores of Lake Superior, their wheels kicking up sand and their hearts filled with joy. They traverse the rolling hills of the Kettle Moraine, their legs aching but their spirits undaunted, the promise of a delicious cream puff at the finish line urging them on. Biking in Wisconsin is no ordinary affair for these kids. It's an adventure, a challenge, and a joy ride all rolled into one. Whether they’re dodging a herd of cows crossing the road or navigating an unexpected cheese spill, the Cheddar Pedalers face every obstacle with a grin on their faces and the wind at their backs. Because in Wisconsin, biking isn't just a hobby—it's a way of life.

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.
