“The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly…” -Thomas Paine
ECO Challenge
Eco Challenge is a two day adventure race that will have your endorphins and adrenaline pumping. Teams tackle difficult mountain trails, raft across lakes, repel off sheer rock faces, and bike until the cows come home!
Mt. Magazine
At 2,753-feet, Mount Magazine is Arkansas's highest mountain, rising dramatically above the broad valleys of the Petit Jean River to the south and the Arkansas River to its north. Graced with natural beauty, this plateau - remnant of an ancient sea floor - stretches six miles long and a mile across. We can’t resist spending a whole day hiking it each year.
Devil’s Den
Devil's Den is a State Park with the several phenomenal caves and crevices. The deepest cave is known for the longest in the U.S. (550 feet). Fearlessly adorned with our headlamps, spelunking becomes a favorite of our students.
Multi-day Treks and Camping
Life doesn’t get much better than a great hike, and finishing off the day with your friends over a blazing campfire, good grub and amazing worship. We love experiencing God’s glory firsthand!
Missions Training
To develop a strong team of steadfast and flexible individuals ready for the mission field, Cadre Academy conducts a powerful missions training exercise. This experience tests the limits of every student and teaches that spreading the Good News can have unique challenges. At its completion, we believe students will understand the Great Commission and what it means to follow God, regardless of the cost, in a deeper way.
