FAITH MEETS THE OUTDOORS
Connecting youth and families through faith, mentorship, hunting, fishing, conservation, and meaningful outdoor experiences.
Not every child grows up with someone to take them hunting, put a fishing rod in their hands, teach them about conservation, or simply spend time with them outdoors.
3rd Coast Country Outdoors Foundation was created to help change that.
We believe the outdoors provides more than recreation. It creates opportunities for mentorship, responsibility, patience, character, stewardship, family connection, and faith.
Our goal is to help youth and families experience those opportunities while teaching them to respect our land, water, wildlife, and the blessings God has given us.
Sometimes a first hunt, a first fish, or a day outdoors with someone who cares can become a memory—and a lesson—that lasts a lifetime.
WHY WE EXIST
Give them the opportunity.
Teach them the responsibility.
Help them carry it forward.
WHAT WE DO
Creating opportunities. Building relationships. Making memories that last.
Through faith, mentorship and outdoor experiences, our programs are designed to give youth and families opportunities to learn, grow and connect with the outdoors.
3CCO FIRST HUNT
A kid. A mentor. A donated hunt. A lifetime memory.
Providing youth with mentored hunting experiences while teaching safety, responsibility, conservation, and respect for the outdoors.
CAST & CONNECT
More than catching fish.
Creating fishing experiences that bring youth, families and mentors together while building confidence, patience and lasting relationships.
GEAR UP
Removing barriers to the outdoors.
Connecting youth and families with donated outdoor gear and equipment so a lack of resources doesn't keep someone from participating.
FAITH MEETS THE OUTDOORS
Faith. Fellowship. The outdoors.
Using God's creation as a place for mentorship, encouragement, fellowship and conversations that can make a lasting difference.
Every program. Every experience. Every opportunity. One purpose—to make a difference.
FAITH MEETS THE OUTDOORS
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”
Psalm 19:1
Faith is at the heart of who we are. We believe some of life's most meaningful conversations happen away from the noise—around a campfire, in a deer blind, on the water, or simply walking through God's creation.
3rd Coast Country Outdoors Foundation exists to meet youth and families where they are, build genuine relationships, lead through example, and create opportunities for encouragement, mentorship and spiritual growth.
We aren't here to force faith on anyone. We're here to live it through service—loving people, investing in the next generation, caring for God's creation and being there when someone needs a mentor, a friend or simply an opportunity.
Our faith doesn't stop at the church doors.
We carry it into the outdoors.
