In the heartland of America, nestled between the rippling rivers and grand green plains, is the bustling state of Illinois, or as I like to call it, "The Land of Curious Kids with Big Voices." Yes, you heard it right, voices that could shake the tallest towers of Chicago! These kids are not just ordinary tots, they're podcasting prodigies. Let me introduce you to my dear friend Mr. Microphone, a funny looking, sparkly device who travels around Illinois, helping these young minds to channel their ideas and stories into entertaining podcasts. Imagine having the power to share your favorite bedtime fairy tales, your first heroic battle with broccoli or even the mysterious adventures of your pet turtle with the whole world! That's exactly what these kids do. With Mr. Microphone in their hands, these pint-sized podcasters transform into the coolest storytellers. They become the masters of a universe where laughter echoes through cornfields, ideas sparkle brighter than the stars above Lake Michigan, and creativity flows faster than the Mississippi River. The podcasting kids of Illinois are like popcorn kernels. When they come close to Mr. Microphone's warmth of encouragement, they explode into magnificent blooms of creativity. Their stories, ideas, and voices fill the air with a delicious aroma that makes everyone stop and listen. These podcasters are not just kids with microphones. They are brave explorers of the wild jungles of imagination, daring adventurers sailing the sea of words, and mighty wizards who can turn the simplest thoughts into enchanting tales. So, next time you tune in, remember you're not just listening to a podcast, you're embarking on an Illinois adventure, guided by the coolest, funniest, and mightiest voices of the future!

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.
