Cross Trail Outfitters is a Christian youth hunting and fishing organization for boys 8-18. Led by Arkansas State Director Duane Hada, CTO Arkansas provides boys with year-round mentorship, hunting and fishing adventures, summer camps, and hands-on outdoor skills training. This annual event has seen growth and refinement to become what organizers and volunteers are expecting to be the biggest fundraising event they have coordinated.

With the age requirements to join, Hada describes the natural cycle of seeing new kids join as the older ages move on.
