In the radiant realm of North Carolina, nestled amid the breathtaking blue ridges and the sparkling Atlantic coastline, exists a super special sect of sprightly youngsters who are utterly bewitched by the sport of Judo. This isn't your ordinary group of kids; no siree! These are the "Judo Jamboree Juggernauts" (JJJs for short) and they are as quirky as they come! First, there's Bouncy Benny, a freckled, red-haired whirlwind with a fondness for peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Benny's never met a Judo move that he didn't like, and his special creation, "the Pickled Peanut Butter Flip," leaves his opponents dazed, amazed, and slightly hungry. Then we have Giggling Gracie, the unofficial queen of laughter. Her giggle is as contagious as the common cold and often leaves her opponents in stitches (not the medical kind, though!). Her signature move, the “Giggle Grip", has the uncanny ability to turn the dourest of matches into a tickle fest! In the mystical land of NC, these Judo-enthused whippersnappers don't just practice their martial art; they sprinkle their unique blend of fun, laughter, and a dash of silliness into every bout. Whether they're flipping, gripping, tossing or tripping, the Judo Jamboree Juggernauts are North Carolina’s finest examples of how to enjoy life while learning Judo. So, if you find yourself in the Tar Heel State, look out for the bouncing Benny, the giggling Gracie, and the rest of the Judo Jamboree Juggernauts - they're easy to spot; they're the ones having the most 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.
As parents, it is important to ensure that our children are surrounded by positive, motivating influences. The words of motivational speaker and physiologist Jim Rohn ring true: “You are the average of the 3-5 people you spend the most time with.” We want to make sure our children are influenced by people who are respectful and wise, and who work hard. At UpLevel Martial Arts, we recognize how important it is for our children to have positive influences in their lives. Our instructors teach valuable life lessons to families that can have a lasting impact. By teaching children about respect, hard work, and responsibility while they’re young, we can help them become successful adults. With the guidance and wisdom of our instructors, our children can become the people they want to be.
