In the great state of Illinois, nestled between the towering skyscrapers of Chicago and the softly rolling cornfields of the countryside, a group of energetic kids participate in a fascinating activity known as Capoeira. Now, you might be thinking, "What in the world is Capoeira?" Well, let me introduce you to my friend Fred, the Flipping Flying Fox - a cool, imaginary character with an infectious laugh and a knack for Capoeira. Fred isn't your average fox. He wears neon-colored sneakers, dons a bandana, and can't resist the rhythm of a good beat. He flips, spins, dances, and yes, he even plays musical instruments, all while teaching Capoeira to the kids of Illinois. He's quite a sight to see, and his laughter is as contagious as the energy that fills the room when the Capoeira music starts playing. The kids who join Fred in this boisterous activity aren't ordinary either. They're bold adventurers, unafraid of cartwheels, handstands, or even the occasional somersault. They laugh as they twirl, their eyes sparkling with pure joy and excitement. There are shy kids, who, with their first awkward cartwheel, blush like a ripe tomato, and then there are those who dive in headfirst, flipping around like pancakes on a Sunday morning. In the land of Illinois, where the wind whispers tales of the past and the future, these kids and Fred, the Flipping Flying Fox, create a magical spectacle. They turn Capoeira into a colourful whirlwind of laughter, friendship, and music, all while mastering the art of the dance. These are the kids of Illinois: brave, energetic, and always ready for a thrilling Capoeira adventure with their funny friend, Fred.

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.
