No Kids? No Problem! Outreach clubs are designed to reach kids in your community. Build relationships, make memories, bring them to conference wide events and celebrate as their lives change when they choose to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. This is frontline ministry!

If your church would like to learn more about starting an Outreach Club, email cherylw@uccsda.org and we’ll give you a call to set up a time for our Outreach Coordinators to come meet with your church leadership.
Churches are currently experiencing experiencing an influx of kids and families after starting outreach clubs - yours can too!

The Adventurer curriculum is divided into six levels.
The Adventurer program was created to assist parents in their important responsibilities as a child’s primary teachers and evangelizers. The program aims to strengthen the parent/child relationship and to further the child’s development in spiritual, physical, mental, and social areas. Through the Adventurer Program, the church, home, and school can work together with the parent to develop a mature, happy child.
The Adventurer Club was created to give children an opportunity to belong to an organized peer group.
How do you become an Adventurer?
To find an Adventurer club in or near your community, email larad@uccsda.org.
Upon joining, children are invited to participate in various activities which will improve their social skills. The Adventurer Club involves children in grades 1-4 and their parents. Parental involvement provides opportunities for parents to participate in the learning experience.

Pathfinders is for those who are in the fifth (5th) grade or its equivalent through the eighth (8th) grade. Fifth and sixth graders are often referred to as "Junior" pathfinders, and seventh and eighth graders are often referred to as "Teen" Pathfinders.
The Teen Leadership Training (TLT) program works closely with the Pathfinder program and is for high school students (grades 9-12).

The Pathfinder Bible Experience is the Official North American Division Pathfinder Bible study program. Some affectionately call the program Bible Bowl.
Each year, teams of six club members study a book of the Bible (alternating Old Testament and New Testament), memorizing large portions of God's word.
There are four levels of competition - Area, Conference, Union, and Division.
The Pathfinders are tested over the assigned study books as well as the Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary Introduction to each study book.

An exciting and historical vote was taken by the 2024 International Camporee Executive Advisory Committee which will impact Pathfinders around the world. The vote approved two things: A change of location for the 2024 Believe the Promise Camporee from Oshkosh, Wisconsin to Gillette, Wyoming, and new dates of August 5-11, 2024.
We realize that this is a paramount decision which will affect Pathfinders from around the world, so we would like to share with you the process of making this decision after countless hours of research, planning, site visits and prayer.
In 2019, we had more than 55,000 participants from 105 countries from around the world at the Chosen International Camporee, and 1,320 souls were baptized. God has truly blessed the Camporee beyond what we could have ever imagined.
As the International Camporee has grown, so has our desire to make each Camporee experience better than the last. For months, evaluation teams have visited the Cam-Plex Facilities in Gillette, Wyoming to determine if this new site offers more support for the International Camporee. After numerous site visits, various committee votes and meetings, and with today's final vote of the executive committee, we are excited for the move and are confident that this decision will greatly improve the International Camporee experience for all attendees.
The Cam-Plex facilities regularly host large events that include camping and on-site activities much like our Camporee, and it boasts the largest campground of full amenities in the world. Get ready for double the indoor activity space, more camping space, and over 25 new additional activities unique to the west. New experiences are just around the corner! You will not believe how much Wyoming has to offer.
See you there!
