In the grand, pine-scented state of Oregon, where waterfalls gush like spilled milk and volcanoes sleep like giant, grumpy cats, resides an exuberant legion of kiddos who love to dance. These Oregonian munchkins, let's call them the "Jiggy Jamborees," are as diverse as the state's landscape and as lively as the rushing Rogue River. The Jiggy Jamborees, led by their jolly mascot, Jamboree Joe, a high-spirited sasquatch with the soles of a seasoned salsa dancer, express their joy in the most magical way – through dance! When they start to boogie, even the Doug Fir trees seem to wiggle their roots to the rhythm. Now, don't be mistaken, Jamboree Joe isn't your typical sasquatch. He doesn’t stomp around, terrifying hikers and gobbling up huckleberries. No, sir! He's got a disco ball for a heart and music in his furry, bigfoot veins. With a twirl of his toe and a swish of his tail, he guides the kids through the steps, twirls, and jumps. Jamboree Joe and his Jiggy Jamborees share their infectious energy from the coastal towns of Astoria to the high desert plains of Bend. Like a burst of sunshine through the Portland rain, they light up the Beaver State with their enchanting moves and boundless spirit. Whether they're hip-hopping on haystacks, bopping in barnyards, or grooving in the shadow of Mount Hood, these Oregonian kids sure know how to spread the joy. So, if you ever find yourself in this state of marvelous mountains and twinkling rivers, join the fun, shake a leg and laugh as the Jiggy Jamborees teach you the sasquatch shuffle!

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.
