Pathfinder Club
Built for action, engineered for leadership, and anchored in deep faith. Designed for youth grades 5 through 10.
Enlarging Windows on the World
The Pathfinder Club is part of an international youth organization sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, counting nearly 2 million active members worldwide. We believe young people learn best by active example rather than pure instruction. Our club serves as an experimental laboratory where discovery is synonymous with fun, and every challenge turns into a personal milestone.
Whether your child is exploring the outdoors, building operational team dynamics, or unlocking deep spiritual convictions, Pathfinders creates a safe environment where they can safely discover their God-given potential.
The Pathfinder Framework
Harmonious Growth of Body, Mind, and Spirit
Outdoor Adventure
Taking kids out of the traditional classroom space into outdoor tracking. Through structural campouts, primitive survival training, hiking, and nature expeditions, youth learn physical resilience and a love for God’s creation.
Skill & Specialization
Driven by an extensive system of over 350 specialized Honors. Pathfinders choose interactive modules covering wilderness mechanics, arts and crafts, technological literacy, and environmental conservation, turning interests into future vocational paths.
Leadership & Service
We train youth to become active partners in selfless community service rather than passive observers. Pathfinders take the lead on real-world outreach, civic relief support, and character tracking rooted in a deep relationship with Christ.
