Once upon a time, nestled in the heart of America, lay the magical state of Illinois. A place where the snowflakes fall like powdered sugar from the sky, and the corn fields sway in the breeze like giant golden ocean waves. It was like a big, beautiful, bewitching painting, with its shimmering lakes, towering skyscrapers, and tiny towns huddled together like a cluster of jellybeans. Now, the kids of Illinois, they were something extraordinary. They were the heart and soul of the state, especially those who participated in the grand, glorious game of football. Oh, and don't you dare underestimate them. They were little titans, charging down the field like miniature hurricanes, determined to score touchdowns at the speed of lightning. And then, there was our superhero, Boisterous Billy, a boy with a laugh as loud as a roaring lion and a heart as big as a blimp. He was a football phenomenon, the star player of the mighty Illinois Inchworms. With his neon green hair, which was as wild as a tropical rainforest, and his freckles that sparkled like the night sky, Billy was a sight to behold. Football was Billy's passion, his dream, his life. He could turn any situation into a game of football. Even when eating spaghetti, he would always try to throw the meatballs into his mouth, imagining they were footballs and his mouth was the endzone. Every day, Billy and his dynamic team of Inchworms would charge onto the field, their hearts pounding with excitement, their eyes sparkling with determination. The football games in Illinois were not just games, they were legendary battles, filled with laughter, friendships, and the sweet taste of victory. Oh, how Illinois loved their football, and oh, how they loved their Boisterous Billy!

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.
