In the balmy, sun-soaked landscape of Florida, where the oranges grow as big as footballs and gators sunbathe in backyards, an unexpected group of children are making waves in the most surprising way — they're Kung Fu kids! These aren't your average Lego-building, scooter-riding, video game-playing Floridian children. Oh no, these pint-sized powerhouses are as nimble as ninja squirrels, as fierce as a flock of flamingos, and as swift as dolphins racing through the Emerald Coast. Meet their leader, Ravi the Ridiculous, a ten-year-old with a mop of sun-bleached hair and freckles that dance on his nose. He's as Floridian as key lime pie, but with one twist - he believes he's a descendent of ancient Kung Fu masters! Legend has it that Ravi was born during a hurricane, and instead of crying, he came out kicking. Now, he’s the funniest and most imaginative Kung Fu master you'll ever meet. Ravi and his ragtag team of Kung Fu kids call themselves "The Swamp Ninjas." They train in the early morning hours when the Florida fog still blankets the marshes, their high kicks sending dewdrops scattering into the sunrise. They might look like ordinary kids, but don't be fooled. These Kung Fu kids have more energy than a hurricane, more spirit than a Seminole war cry. From the swaying palm trees of Miami to the gentle manatees of Crystal River, the kids of Florida aren't just surfing waves or building sandcastles. They're learning Kung Fu under the watchful eye of Ravi the Ridiculous, the funniest Kung Fu master Florida has ever seen!

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.

Introducing your child to the ancient Korean martial art of Tae Kwon-Do can help them learn self-defense techniques and increase their physical fitness. Tae Kwon-Do is as much an art as it is a martial art, and its graceful movements can be admired and appreciated. In addition to the physical benefits of learning Tae Kwon-Do, there is a spiritual element as well. The philosophy of Tae Kwon-Do encourages self-restraint, kindness and humility. Traditional Tae Kwon-Do differs from modernized forms and other martial arts in several ways. Free sparring does not involve any physical contact, the training is more aerobic, and the emphasis is on each student’s individual progress rather than competition with their peers. This makes Tae Kwon-Do a great choice for children who want to learn martial arts in a safe and non-competitive environment.
