Cadets

Who: Second through eighth-grade boys
When: Every other Friday from 6:00–8:00 p.m. September through May.

Cadets is a Boy’s Club, similar to Boy Scouts, but with an emphasis on Christ. It is the goal of the Cadet Club to provide a safe place for boys to connect with their peers and learn what it means to grow into God-honoring men. The boys learn citizenship, Bible knowledge, and skills for camping, woodworking, and building projects.

Luke 2:52 states that "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." Based on this verse, the goal of the Calvinist Cadet Corps is to help boys to grow spiritually in all areas of life (devotional, mental, physical, and social) by providing Christian men with a uniquely designed structure, program, and materials that allows them to mentor boys effectively.

A typical meeting includes games, a Bible lesson, crafts and badge work. Some of the scheduled activities include canoeing, camping, a snow trip and a summer Camporee. Cadets have an Annual Pinewood Derby with cars they build. Combined with 8 other clubs, there are almost 200 cars racing together in this event. This is an international organization that holds camporees both locally and throughout the country.
