Hunt and Fish Weekends
An opportunity for all. We exist to provide opportunities to encounter God through the outdoors and ancient practices of hunting and fishing with a focus on mentorship and discipleship.
About the Ministry
Christ Church Anglican’s Outdoors Ministry offers a transformational outdoor weekend to youth, as well as the powerful bonding that comes from experiencing it with a trusted chaperone, at Hunt/Fish Weekends. When purchased at retail cost, such guided trips can cost thousands of dollars. Because of generous ranchers and donors, Hunt/Fish Weekends provide this wonderful experience at no cost to youth or chaperones.
Protocol and Standards
Hunt/Fish Weekends are designed for boys and girls ages 12-17
Please note: certain weekend(s) may have additional age restrictions due to hunting regulations.
An adult chaperone must transport the youth to/from the weekend and attend weekend activities with the youth. Adult chaperones may be a parent, legal guardian, family member, adult friend, or volunteer, and must be approved to attend by the parent or legal guardian of the youth.
Safety and Activities
On a Hunt/Fish Weekend, youth will experience required gun and hunting safety training, supervised by licensed and experienced hunters/guides, and the opportunity to hunt a deer from a deer blind. If the hunt is successful, youth who wish to may help process the animal, producing meat for donation to a charity.
