More than three million kids around the world have discovered the fun and faith-building experience of the Adventurer and Pathfinder clubs—and now you can too!

The Adventurer Club is designed to strengthen parent-child relationships for kids ages 6-9 by providing specialized weekly activities tuned into the psychological needs of this age group while simultaneously giving parents opportunities for learning parenting skills and enjoying special activities with their children. There are many age-challenging activities on the Adventurer menu: these range from games and outdoor activities to nature exploration and family camping, field trips and community service projects. A five level age-specific curriculum is used along with approximately 80 specialized award areas of crafts, nature, recreation, spiritual development, and home arts.

For those who are familiar with it, Pathfinder Club conjures up images of marching, camping, curious hobbies, bugs, and bats. Enlarging their windows on the world and building a relationship with God are the dual objectives of this club, which is designed for children ages 10-15, and accepts any youth who promises to abide by the Pathfinder Pledge and Law regardless of their church affiliation. Pathfindering is built on an age-specific curriculum of six levels along with more than 360 specialized skill development topics covering arts and crafts, aquatics, nature, household arts, recreation, spiritual development, health, and vocational training.
