In the tiny but mighty state of Rhode Island, tucked snugly between Connecticut and Massachusetts, there exists a bustling city called Providence where the most extraordinary thing happens every afternoon. Right at the heart of this bustling city, there is a secret society of kids practicing the ancient art of Kung Fu. Now, these are not your average, everyday kids. No, these are Rhode Island Kung Fu Kids, or RIKFK, for short! At the helm of RIKFK, is a cool imaginary character, Master Frizzle Frazzle, a talking weasel wearing a black belt and an oversized pair of glasses. Master Frizzle Frazzle, with his weasel-ly wisdom and quick wit, teaches these kids the ancient art of Kung Fu, but with a comically Rhode Island twist. Imagine a bunch of high-spirited kids, chopping, kicking, and blocking... all while munching on a mouthful of clam cakes! That's what a day at RIKFK looks like. But don’t let their fun fool you; these tiny martial artists can kick a clam clear across Narragansett Bay if they have to! The Rhode Island Kung Fu Kids are as diverse as the state itself, some hailing from the bustling streets of Providence, others from the tranquil sea-facing town of Newport, and some even from the potato farms of South Kingstown. But when they gather in their Kung Fu dojo, they drop their differences and unite with a common goal: to master the weasel-ly ways of Kung Fu under the guidance of Master Frizzle Frazzle. Rhode Island may be small, but the spirit of its Kung Fu Kids is enormous! So next time you find yourself in the Ocean State, watch out for a high-flying clam cake; it might just be a practice session at the Rhode Island Kung Fu Kids dojo!

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.
