Once upon a time, in the melody-filled land of Illinois, there was a tribe of extraordinary children known as the Tune Titans. These weren't your average Illinoisian youngsters. Oh no, they had an extraordinary superpower - they could create enchanting music using various instruments, turning the state’s cornfields into concert halls and city streets into symphony arenas. The leader of the Tune Titans was a cool and imaginative character named Fiddlestick Fitz. With his wild hair, twinkling eyes, and a guitar that glittered in the sun, he was as funny as he was talented. He would often mix up the names of the instruments just for laughs, referring to his beloved guitar as the "stringy thingy" and calling the piano a "tinkle-ivory". And just when you thought it couldn't get any funnier, he'd don a pair of sunglasses and start strumming his guitar with a corn cob. In Illinois, from the bustling cityscape of Chicago to the serene riverside of the Mississippi, Fiddlestick Fitz and the Tune Titans staged impromptu performances, spreading joy and laughter through their musical jests. They tickled the ivories in Peoria, strummed banjos in Bloomington, and blew trumpets in Springfield, inspiring every child in the state to join their melodious escapades. The children of Illinois would often be seen lugging around instrument cases bigger than themselves, their eyes twinkling with the excitement of the next Tune Titans performance. Whether in the Windy City's towering skyscrapers or down in the flat prairielands, the air in Illinois was always filled with the sound of music and the resounding laughter of the Tune Titans.

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.
