          A BIG thank you to each Club/Family/Parent/Staff who attended RZ 2025!
          We pray you had a powerful experience and that God would continue to use RZ to help us see a clearer picture of Jesus and a deeper commitment to Love God, Love Others.
          And more specifically, to live lives where LOVE is UNLEASHED!
          Watch soon for a RECAP video to relive the memories and links to other videos from the weekend.

          FLORIDA ADVENTURER CLUB FUNDRAISER OF THE YEAR

          This year Florida Adventurer Clubs are joining nonprofit “From Hearts 2 Hands” to fill a village library with stories in their language—Swahili. Just $5 puts a Swahili book into the hands of a child.

          From joyful tales to books about Jesus and His love, each one opens the door to imagination, hope, and learning. Will you give the gift of reading?

          About Us

          The Adventurer Club is a Seventh-day Adventist Church-sponsored ministry open to all families of children in grades 1-4. Our mission is to support parents and caregivers in leading and encouraging their children in a growing, joyful love relationship with Jesus Christ.
          The first few years of a child’s life sets the stage for their future.  For parents/families of pre-K through fourth grade children, our Adventurer Clubs provide a safe place to encourage the development of the necessary social and interpersonal skills they need, in an environment that promotes Christian values and responsibilities.
          Families will learn a variety of topics together, from character building, nature, hobbies, safety, and much more. This club also has parenting tips and resources through the family network and is designed to help you be the best parent/caregiver you can be as you partner with your child and other families to grow your kids to be the best they can be. Most clubs meet twice a month.
