Once upon a time, in the lively state of Illinois, stretching from the bustling city of Chicago to the sleepy rural towns of the Prairie State, there was a place where fun and adventure always had the last say. It was a place where children were often found doing cartwheels or running races, their laughter ringing out like a joyous melody. This magical place was none other than Sportsfield, the hub of all things playful and exciting. Among the kids who panted, grinned, and sweated on those fields, there was a particularly zesty character named Jiggly Wiggly. A boy who had more bounce than a kangaroo on a trampoline. His real name was James, but nobody called him that. Oh no, for in the world of Sportsfield, you were what you played, and Jiggly Wiggly was always in motion! Every day, when the sun was warming the cornfields and the squirrels were going about their nutty business, Jiggly Wiggly could be found leading an army of children in fun-filled escapades. He was the fastest runner, the trickiest dodger, and the most agile climber. His legs were like springs, his arms like windmills and his laughter, oh, it was as infectious as a yawn in a classroom! But the most remarkable thing about Jiggly Wiggly wasn't how fast he could run, or how high he could jump, it was his spirit. He proved that even in the plain-old, ordinary state of Illinois, kids could create their own magical world of adventure and excitement. So, if you're ever in Illinois and hear a laughter echoing from a field, you just know - that's Jiggly Wiggly, making sports a hoot!

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.
The Amstutz family has been working hard to create an experience that combines our love of nature and the outdoors with a desire to share our knowledge of sustainable farming and animal care. We have a large variety of animals – horses, chickens, pigs, cows, turkeys, sheep, and goats – and we take great pride in caring for them. We also have acres of vegetable gardens, an outdoor kitchen, a playground, and a nature trail. The Amstutz family has put their imagination and hard work into creating The Country Experience – a 34 acre farm located in the heart of rural Ohio. The Country Experience is a summer sleepaway camp, but it is also a place for school groups and teachers to experience hands-on learning, a destination for families to get away and relax, and a home to delicious wood-fired pizza. The Amstutz family is passionate about providing a unique experience that combines their love of nature and the outdoors with sustainable farming and animal care. Visitors to The Country Experience can meet and interact with horses, chickens, pigs, cows, turkeys, sheep, and goats, explore acres of vegetable gardens, and take a stroll along the nature trail. Plus, there is an outdoor kitchen and playground for even more fun and fresh air.
