Far down below in the Sunshine State, where oranges are as sweet as a summer day and alligators sunbathe like they're on vacation, there's a group of kids working up a sweat. Florida, known for its sandy beaches, magical theme parks, and flamingo parades, has a secret. It's the home of the bravest, the coolest, the most fearless Jiu Jitsu kids you could ever imagine. Meet Buzzy, the frizzy-haired, freckle-nosed leader of the bunch. Buzzy's a bit of an oddball - he can't tie his shoelaces, but he can tie you up in a Jiu Jitsu knot faster than you can say "orange". He doesn't just practice Jiu Jitsu, he breathes it, dreams it, and even eats his cereal in his gi. His friends, the Florida Fantastic, are just as unique. There's Luna, who can pin a person down with her pinky finger, and Timmy, so flexible he can touch his toes without bending his knees. And we can't forget about Jazzy Jasmine, who can twirl you around so fast, you'd think you were on Space Mountain. These kids aren't just fighters, they're friends, laughing and joking as they practice their holds and throws. They turn the mats into their own magical world, where they are heroes, ninjas, and warriors training for the greatest battle of all - the next Jiu Jitsu championship. Sun-soaked Florida isn't just where they live, it's their dojo, their playground, their home. So, if you're wandering around Florida and feel the ground shake, don't worry, it's not an alligator stampede, it's just Buzzy and the gang practicing their Jiu Jitsu moves!

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.
