Once upon a time in the vibrant state of Illinois, known for its magnificent skyscrapers, hot dogs sans ketchup, and the legendary Chicago Bulls, lived a gang of pint-sized creators. They were the "Glassy Giggly Guild," a unique group of kids who were masters of glasswork. The kids hailing from neighborhoods as bustling as Chicago's Magnificent Mile to as tranquil as Springfield's suburbs, were united by their love for crafting wonders from glass. They had a magical pet, "Glassy the Unicorn," who would sneeze out glittering glass nuggets every time he ate a hot dog, which was pretty much every day. Yes, hot dogs were his favorite, but no ketchup, please! With Glassy's endless supply of glass nuggets, the kids created beautiful artifacts. Glittering glass flowers that never wilted, colorful glass wind chimes that played the sweetest melodies, and twinkling glass stars that outshone the real ones. Their creations were as full of life and diversity as Illinois itself. The youngest of the gang was a seven-year-old named Billy, also known as "Billy the Glass Guru". He was as cheeky as he was creative. One time, he made a glass replica of the Leaning Tower of Niles. It leaned so much that everyone thought it would fall. But guess what? It didn't! It just wobbled a little whenever Glassy sneezed near it. Through their glass work, the Glassy Giggly Guild and their sparkling companion taught everyone in Illinois about teamwork, creativity, and the sheer joy of creating something beautiful. But most importantly, they taught everyone that even the simplest things, like Glassy’s nuggets or Illinois' love for hot dogs, can lead to extraordinary adventures and endless fun!

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.
