Deep in the heart of the Land of Lincoln, known to others as the incredible state of Illinois, a hoard of young adventurers known as the "Field Trip Fanatics" gather for their exciting escapades. With enchanting Chicago skyscrapers to the north and the twists and turns of the Mississippi to the west, these kids have an endless playground to explore. Leading the pack is their fearless leader, Sir Chuckles McFunnybones, a spritely character known for his love of corny jokes and Illinois trivia. He sports a dashing hat, shaped like the state of Illinois, which he claims gives him extraordinary exploration powers. His watch, instead of telling time, reveals fun facts about Illinois, which he shares with the kids with a hearty chuckle. Did you know, he would ask, that Illinois produces more pumpkins than any other state? Or that the world's largest ketchup bottle can be found in Collinsville, IL? Every day with the Field Trip Fanatics is a new adventure. One day they might be exploring the mysteries of the Shedd Aquarium, giggling at the waddling penguins or gasping at the sharp-toothed sharks. The next, they could be stepping back in time at the mighty Cahokia Mounds, pretending to be ancient settlers forging a life on the plains. The Field Trip Fanatics and Sir Chuckles McFunnybones take full advantage of the diverse landscapes and breathtaking sights that Illinois offers, creating memories and sharing laughs along the way. This is their Illinois - a land of exploration, fun, and endless learning!

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.
