Once upon a time, in the colorful, exciting state of Connecticut, a gang of sprightly, high-spirited kids took on a unique and daring adventure - the thrilling world of Jiu-Jitsu! This wasn't just any run-of-the-mill group, oh no! This was the Squiggly Wiggly Jiu jitters, named after their tremendously funny leader, Squiggly Wiggly, a blue elephant with a black belt in...wait for it...Jiu-Jitsu! Connecticut was their playground, brimming with picturesque landscapes, towering lighthouses, and delightful sandy beaches. The Jiu jitters had a blast playing in the lush meadows, where they practiced their rolls and spins. They hopped over the neatly lined pebbles along the rivers, pretending they were speedy ninjas avoiding sneaky crocodiles. Squiggly Wiggly, with his giggle-inducing wiggly trunk, led the Jiu jitters in their training, showing them the importance of discipline, respect and resilience. Despite being an elephant, Squiggly Wiggly was incredibly flexible and agile, twisting and turning in ways that made the kids' eyes pop out in disbelief, with a chorus of "Whoa" echoing across the meadows. Their Jiu-Jitsu gigs were full of laughter and tumbles, as they tried mimicking Squiggly's complex moves, often resulting in hilarious, harmless pile-ups. I mean, who could keep a straight face when Jimmy, the smallest Jiu jitter, tried to flip Tommy, the heaviest Jiu jitter, and ended up catapulting himself into a haystack! Through all the fun and madness, they learned the art of Jiu jitsu, growing stronger, smarter and funnier. Their journey was filled with laughter, adventure, and lots of squiggly-wiggly moments, making Connecticut the jolliest place to be a Jiu jitter.

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.
