Campcraft

	Campcraft
	Campcraft – Outdoor Living Skills is a vital tool for reaching and equipping adults, youth and children to be on mission with God. Living outdoors is the ideal environment to become aware of the Creator and all that he has created. Camping provides a unique opportunity for men to learn and share about their relationship with Christ. “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17
