Why choose CTO?
Many kids today are unfamiliar with the outdoors. Cross Trail Outfitters (CTO) is changing that by providing an opportunity to get them outdoors and teach them about our hunting and fishing heritage, while sharing our faith.
GET TO KNOW THE OUTDOORS
CTO provides the mentorship, training, and resources to go hunting and fishing.
LEARN PROPER STEWARDSHIP
God has provided the gift of animals for us to harvest for feeding our families and those in need.
IMPROVE OUTDOOR SKILLS
We focus on gun safety, archery, marksmanship, fishing, field dressing, meat processing, and more.
DEVELOP LIFE-LONG FRIENDSHIPS
Outfitters and guides mentor youth encouraging them to pursue and deepen their relationship with Christ and others.
HELP YOUR COMMUNITY
We promote a "servant's heart" among youth as we do community service projects.
