The state of Michigan is a fantastic, bicycle-friendly world, an adventurous playground for kids who love to pedal their way through life. This beautiful wilderness, shaped like a giant mitten, is bordered by four Great Lakes, which makes it look like it's waving at Canada. If you listen carefully, you might hear the laughter of kids who are part of the Michigan Biking Brigade. They are an unstoppable crew of young pedaling pirates, fearless and funny, who rule the bike lanes, pathways and trails of the state. Their leader, a cool imaginary character named Wheelie Wombat, is possibly the coolest marsupial on two wheels. He wears a helmet styled like a fluffy wombat head and a cape that flaps in the wind. He leads the brigade with his handlebar mustache twirling in the breeze, pedaling a shiny, purple, superhero bike Wheelie Wombat and the Biking Brigade aren't your ordinary biking enthusiasts. They look for the funniest and most exciting adventures. They race against squirrels, chase after ice cream trucks, and sometimes they even bike backwards! They laugh so hard that birds start to chirp along, and their giggles can be heard echoing across the lakes. In the world of Michigan, the sun smiles down at them, the wind whistles their biking songs, and the trails await their tires' tracks. With Wheelie Wombat leading the way, the Michigan Biking Brigade proves that Michigan isn't just the 'Great Lakes State', but it's also the 'Great Bikes State'. So, hop on your bicycle, wear your helmet, and join the funniest, most exciting biking brigade in Michigan!

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.
Oakland Yard Summer Adventure Camps are a sports and recreation facility with an indoor driving range and an extensive summer camp program. Come check out our staff, facility, and directors. Kids can goof around, parents can relax with a beverage, and see what camp is all about. Weather permitting, our Slip-n-slide will be open throughout this event, so bring towels. Send us an email and we’ll put you on ‘the VIP list’ and have your burger made just right, the kids' hotdogs ready, and your name with the bartender for the cold ones!
