It takes a man to teach a boy how to become a man- by living out their own ability to do hard things, as well as living out their dependence on Jesus. KOZ men do both! KOZ East Coast Summer Adventure Camp 2026!

Sometimes a boy’s anger isn’t really about anger at all.

It may be hurt, abandonment, frustration, or pain he doesn’t know how to put into words.

In this week’s KOZ blog, TJ shares a personal story about anger, healing, and why the behavior we see in boys is often just the surface of something deeper.

If you mentor boys, lead a KOZ group, parent, or simply care about the next generation, this one is worth the read.

Read the full blog here:

Helping boys process anger starts with understanding what’s beneath the behavior. Discover how KOZ leaders can guide boys through hurt, frustration, and healing.

A fun look back at an unforgettable night!

Our 𝟏𝟕𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐊𝐎𝐙 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚, 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲, was a celebration of what God is doing through this mission and the people who make it possible.

Because of faithful supporters, leaders, and volunteers, more boys are being mentored, more men are stepping up, and more lives are being changed through Christ-centered outdoor adventure.

Take a look at the highlights—and thank you for being part of the mission.

This is "17th Annual KOZ Gala | Rooted in Purpose" by KOZ, Kids Outdoor Zone on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

What a night at the 17th Annual KOZ Gala & Fundraiser!

Seeing a room full of people come together for boys and families reminded us once again why KOZ exists. From a few boys in South Austin to groups reaching across 6 countries, God continues to grow this mission in ways we never could have imagined.

We loved sharing the stories, the vision, and what’s ahead for KOZ — including exciting partnerships, new opportunities, and the growth of GEMS Girls Outdoors.

To everyone who attended, volunteered, sponsored, donated, and prayed for this ministry: thank you. You are helping change lives by making sure boys have men in their corner pointing them toward Christ, purpose, and adventure.

We’ll be sharing more videos and moments from the Gala soon, so stay tuned. We love our KOZ family and are grateful to be on this journey together. 🤎
