If you know Jimmy Houston Outdoors… you know this is gonna be a good time!

Between outdoor adventures and camp activities, our campers also have intentional downtime to slow down, reflect, and grow in their faith. One resource many of them have the opportunity to read during those moments is Catch a Better Life by Jimmy Houston.
If you’re looking for a faith-filled outdoor devotional, we highly recommend!

We’re also excited to welcome Jimmy Houston Outdoors to Missouri as the special guest speaker at the Cross Trail Outfitters of Missouri Banquet on September 26, 2026. For more details, visit the 2026 Cross Trail Outfitters of Missouri Banquet.

What a great night.

Family Fishing Night brought together kids, parents, grandparents, and friends for an evening filled with laughter, fishing stories, and plenty of fish being caught.

🎣 Fish were landed.
🌭 Hot dogs were eaten.
🔥 The campfire was enjoyed.

But the best part of the night wasn’t the fishing.

As everyone gathered around the fire, we had the opportunity to talk about something far more important than anything we pulled out of the pond. We talked about the invitation Jesus gives each of us to know Him and walk with Him.

At Cross Trail Outfitters, we love the outdoors. We love fishing, hunting, camping, and all the adventures that come with them. But those things are simply tools that help us accomplish our real mission: guiding the next generation to Christ through the outdoors.

Thank you to everyone who came out, brought their families, invited friends, helped serve food, and made the evening possible. Nights like these remind us why we do what we do.

The fish were fun.

The relationships were better.

The opportunity to share Jesus was best of all. 🎣✝️🔥

We've posted pictures of hogs. We've posted pictures of fish. We've posted pictures of the adventures and memories being made this week.

But none of that matters more than this moment right here.

This is why we do what we do.

Every camp, every fundraiser, every volunteer hour, every mile driven, every late night on the water or in the woods is ultimately about helping young people encounter Jesus Christ.

The fish will be forgotten. The stories will eventually fade. But a life surrendered to Christ has eternal significance.

Join us in celebrating what God is doing in the lives of these young men.

The theme for all Missouri CTO Summer Camps this year is “Press On” from Philippians 3:14.

Throughout the summer, the boys will be walking through the life of Joseph and seeing how God can still work through hardship, uncertainty, betrayal, setbacks, and seasons that don’t make sense in the moment.

Joseph kept pressing on and trusting God even when life looked nothing like what he expected. That same challenge is being placed in front of these young men as they think about their own lives and walk with Christ.

Our prayer this summer is that these camps become more than just memories and outdoor experiences… that they become moments where young men begin learning what it means to truly follow Jesus and press on toward the calling God has placed on their lives.
