Guiding the next generation since 2004
Cross Trail Outfitters was founded in 2004 with the goal of discipling and mentoring boys between the ages of 7-20. Through hunting and fishing, we equip youth with skills in the outdoors while guiding them toward Christ. Since our founding, we have expanded nation-wide, providing youth with thousands of life-changing opportunities.
