The state of Kansas, known as the Sunflower State, resembles a giant patchwork quilt of cornfields and prairies, stitched together by twisting rivers and highways under the wide-open Midwestern sky. It's a magical place where the wind doesn't just speak, it sings, rustling golden wheat fields into a shimmering sea of gold. In the heart of this enchanting land, there's an extraordinary group of kids who love to dance! They are known as the Kansas Kinetikids, a troop of sprightly, twinkle-toed dance enthusiasts who add an extra layer of sparkle to this state. These kids are as diverse as the crops in the Kansas fields, but when they dance, they move as one, like a flock of birds soaring through the sky. Now, meet Boogie the Bison, their cool, imaginary mascot who can't resist breaking out into spontaneous dance moves! He’s a rotund, jovial creature with a heart as vast as the Kansas plains. Boogie's specialty dance is the Sunflower Shuffle, a wild, wacky jig that makes even the sternest scarecrow break into a grin. When the Kansas Kinetikids get together, they all follow Boogie's lead, spinning like a tornado, leaping like prairie dogs, and shimmying like sunflowers in the breeze. Their performances are as unpredictable and delightful as a Midwestern weather report. Dancing in Kansas isn’t just about the steps, but about the spirit! Boogie the Bison always says, “Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body. Now, let’s stop yapping, and start tapping!” Then, with a hearty laugh, he kicks up his hooves, and the dance begins!

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.
At our early childhood preschool and childcare program, we are passionate in our belief that those who work alongside young children and their families should be recognized as early childhood professionals. We recognize that these professionals deserve respect, rewards, and responsibilities that come with a professional status. In addition to providing care and education for young children, early childhood professionals are responsible for observing the health and well-being of children. They must be equipped to handle illnesses, implement accident prevention and emergency procedures, keep complete and current health records, as well as informing parents of community resources. We are dedicated to raising the profile of early childhood professionals and ensuring they are accorded the respect and recognition they deserve. The childcare industry is a fast-growing one and we believe that those who choose to make a career of it should be recognized as professionals. We think of early childhood professionals as the ones who have a huge responsibility to nurture and care for young children, and we are proud to provide a platform for these individuals to use their expertise and knowledge to make a difference in the lives of our youngest members of society.
