Welcome! Karibu!
Pathfinders is a voluntary club of youth from ages 10-15 years of age

5th and 6th graders are often referred to as "Junior" pathfinders, and 7th and 8th graders are often referred to as "Teen"

Say....
..."I can meet new friends, go camping, earn AY (Adventist Youth) honors, enjoy fun activities, Pathfinders also gives
me new opportunities to talk about and know God."
Parents say...
"...I see Pathfinders as fulfilling an important purpose. The
outdoor activities provide recreation and education; the class work teaches self-discipline. Above all, Pathfindering gives
youth an environment in which to actively expand their personal experience with Christ. They understand sharing, caring, helping
others, and witnessing because they learned of the Master Pathfinder-JesusChrist."
