In a tiny nook of the vast United States, nestles a magical state, quite unlike any other. A place where ideas are born, decisions are made, and history is penned. Welcome, dear reader, to Washington, D.C., the capital city that's not quite a city, not quite a state but a district of its own kind. In this unique realm of infinite possibilities, dwells a band of incredibly nimble and vivacious kids, fondly known as the 'Twinkle Toes Tribe'. They don't just walk or run, no, no. They pirouette, they salsa, they tap, and they twirl. Every sidewalk is their stage, every streetlight their spotlight. Leading this sprightly brigade is a character so cool, so hilarious, he'll have you rolling on the floor laughing in no time. Meet Funky Fergus, the Disco Duck. He’s not your average duck, mind you. He’s a disco-dancing, moonwalking, afro-sporting, sunglass-wearing waterfowl who shakes a tail feather like nobody's business. Funky Fergus and his Twinkle Toes Tribe believe in one simple philosophy - why walk when you can dance? Each day, after their school, they meet at the Lincoln Memorial, transforming it into their dance floor. And then begins their daily jig, stretching from the monumental Washington Monument to the picturesque Potomac River. They twirl around the White House, moonwalk through the Smithsonian, and even boogie around the Capitol Building. Their infectious energy and jive have even the most stoic statues in the district secretly tapping their stone feet to the beat. So, if you ever find yourself in D.C., just follow the beat, and you might just stumble upon Funky Fergus and his Twinkle Toes Tribe, painting the town red, one dance step at a time!

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.
