Join recognized outdoor professionals like Brad Jerman and Ray Howell for a lay leaders’ conference designed to help you reach unsaved outdoorsmen so that they can find an everlasting adventure with their God and Creator.
Gerry Caillouet, Host and Producer of the Internationally syndicated Christian radio program, God's Great Outdoors, will be your adventure guide. He will teach from his 18 years of assorted outdoor ministry experiences, which have allowed him to take part in outdoor outreach across North America as a Christian radio program producer. So, you will not only glean from his experiences, but also from the many professional outdoorsmen that Gerry has crossed paths with through his years on the God's Great Outdoors Broadcast.
Who Should Come?
Pastors, lay leaders, camp and ministry staff, or anyone who would like to explore the numerous opportunities to touch those lives in your community who have an attraction to God’s creation and need a relationship with Jesus Christ. 49 million people over the age of 16, recreate in the outdoors in the USA. Add those 16 and younger and that is more than half the nation’s population! Plus 93% of the time, if you can get the Father/Husband to come to Christ, the family follows.

DR John will help us identify the fossils we find (Because the place is loaded with them!) and share about fossil formation & answer questions you may have while we sit together to eat the packed lunches and sip on the drinks that each family brings with them. You may keep any fossils you find that are smaller then your fist!

Wyoming Antelope hunt
Gerry has been a speaker in the past at a Table in the Wilderness’s Antelope Hunt and suggests that you put a group together to have an outdoor outreach outing there too! NOTE: Buck tags must be applied for by the 15th of March the year you hunt. (September or October.) 100% of the hunters filled buck tags at the WY Rifle Antelope Hunt Gerry was on. (Past years, 100% success on many of the rifle hunts!)
Find out about all the hunting & fishing opportunities Table in the Wilderness Ministries offers and there "Outdoor Adventure Camp." The hunting dates overlap parts of the archery antelope, rifle antelope
and archery elk hunting seasons and they also offer fly fishing and ATV riding too.

alaska river rafting adventures with Copper River Float Ministry
The Gulkana River Rafting weekend adventures will give your group opportunities at catching king salmon, rainbows and arctic grayling. But they are also the perfect setting after the meals are served, to have your friends and relatives hear a message from God's Word shared by the speaker on the trip. Quite an interesting journey in God's great outdoors with events for men and also for the ladies.
This Alaskan outings near Glennallan, fills over a year in advance so you do need to contact Dave Lemaire as soon as possible. See photos from past river rafting events.
