2010 Adventure Academy

This year's Boys Adventure Academy demonstrated the integrety of a camp for boys that are mentored by men searching for God's best in their lives. It is the man - boy thing with God in the middle that makes it such a unique camp experience. We are grateful to the Lord for the 23 boys saved and the many who received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. See more pics on Facebook/David L. Craun's page

2010 LARR Adventure Trail - Chicot State Park

Three outpost brought guys to experience this year's Adventure Trail. Chicot State Park provides a medium challenge hiking trail. The guys camped right at the edge of the lake with all the night creatures looking on. We brought in the canoes Saturday morning and after lunch headed out braving strong wind gusts. We passed large alligators along the way and many varieties of water foul. All the guys (and gals - Katie came with her dad Dennis ,and Maegn came down Saturday morning to finish the day hike and be my bowman for the canoe jount) had and exciting time. Andrew and Loren Klein opted to hike all the way back to the starting point instead of taking the canoes. Getting ready for this year's STT at Academy.
