In the sun-kissed, golden state of California, where surfing sea lions high-five sea-bathing starfish, a group of unordinary kids engage in a special kind of activity - Fencing! Yes, not the type that surrounds your backyard, but the one with masks, jackets, and swords!

These are the brave youngsters of ‘En Garde California!’ In this fantastical land where tacos grow on trees and palm trees sway to the rhythm of the Pacific breeze, these kids are learning the ancient art of dueling, just like musketeers from old storybooks.

Among them is our hero, Sir Broccoli Bruce, a 12-year-old with curly hair as wild as a lion's mane and a spirit brighter than the Hollywood sign at night. Bruce is not named after the green vegetable he adores but because of his unique ability to turn his opponents green with envy with his fencing skills. 

Every day, armed with his sword of silver lightning, Bruce and his band of merry fencers prance, lunge, and parry. They look like a bunch of crayons come alive, dancing a ballet in their various colored protective gear. Their giggles echo across the state, from the sunbathing seals in San Diego to the chatty seagulls in San Francisco.

California might be known for its cool surfers, glamorous movie stars, and tech-savvy wizards. Still, nothing beats the excitement of watching Sir Broccoli Bruce and his fencing chums charging about, their swords gleaming in the Californian sun. They are the shining knights of the West Coast, and they're here to show that the state is more than just sunshine and Hollywood; it's a place where imagination and courage create extraordinary adventurers.

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.

Fencing has long been a popular sport, with its roots in ancient times. But it has been enjoying a resurgence in the United States in the past decade. This is thanks in large part to the success of Mariel Zagunis and Sada Jacobson who medaled at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. This paved the way for the US Fencing Team to win numerous medals at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympic Games. Even President Obama was so inspired by the team’s success that he chose to fence with one of the US Olympians, Tim Morehouse, at the White House. Now, fencing is an international sport with participants competing from countries such as France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Russia. 

Olympic fencing is a unique sport that brings the modern world together with traditional combat. Its popularity has grown significantly in the United States in recent years, largely due to the outstanding performances of Mariel Zagunis and Sada Jacobson at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. This success paved the way for the US Fencing Team to win a number of medals at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympic Games. President Obama was so impressed that he wanted to experience fencing first hand, so he invited one of the US Olympians, Tim Morehouse, to the White House to fence with him. Today, fencing is enjoyed by athletes from all around the world, including countries such as France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Russia.

Parents, do you have a Russian-speaking child between the ages of 6 and 17? The Organization of Russian Youth Scouts (ORUR), registered in the US as ‘St. George Pathfinders’, is an international scouting organization dedicated to the development of Russian and Russian-speaking kids. It has been functioning very successfully in Russia since 1990 and has four chapters in the US, Washington DC, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. 

This program is designed to provide your child with an opportunity to learn about Russian culture, history, and the Russian Orthodox faith in a way that is similar to the Boy Scouts of America program. However, we also emphasize the importance of gender equality in our program, as both boys and girls participate as equal partners from the earliest age. 

We are offering a unique opportunity for your child to be involved in an international scouting program and learn about Russian culture, history and faith.

For over two decades, Mr. Allan Gagner has been honing his craft of using and working with weapons. His journey began in college when he took up fencing, but it was by a twist of fate that he stumbled across an advertisement in a newspaper for a sword-fighting troupe. He applied, and within three years, he was part of the Highland Mercenaries. As part of the group, Allan trained intensely for eight hours a day, seven days a week, in order to perfect his skills. The troupe traveled the length and breadth of California, performing at Renaissance fairs, Celtic fairs, and even birthday parties and weddings. Allan quickly rose up the ranks and eventually became the lead fight coordinator, making the performances as realistic as possible.

After his time with the troupe, Allan used his expertise to consult for various film, television, and theater production companies. He also opened his own business, sharing his knowledge with the next generation of fighters. Mr. Gagner has worked hard to become a master of his craft, and his experience and knowledge has made him an invaluable asset in the industry.
