Become a Part of CTO Illinois!

Many kids today are unfamiliar with the outdoors. Cross Trail Outfitters (CTO) is changing that by providing an opportunity to get them outdoors and teach them about our hunting and fishing heritage, while sharing our faith. We want kids to know that life is different than what they see on TV or in video games. There’s a life out in God’s creation, and CTO is all about “Guiding the next generation to Christ through the outdoors.” We provide the mentorship, training and assets for kids to go hunting and fishing, while ensuring a wholesome and fun environment in which participants can grow in knowledge and reverence of God.

CTO is primarily for boys ages 7-20, offering a wide range of year-round outdoor activities. There are also opportunities for families and girls to participate in some CTO activities. Outings and events are open to both members and non-members, however, by becoming a member of CTO Illinois, you can help us grow across Illinois. Memberships are offered to families, adult individuals, and youth. Members receive:
  • CTO cap and sticker (limited to 2 hats per family membership)
  • Discounts for outings and other events
  • First chance to register for summer camps
  • Manage your membership profile online and make payments
  • Merchandise discounts where available
Select "View Profile" in the login area at the top to see event registrations, payments, and financial statements.

We need access to private land for our outings and other activities. CTO covers the liability of  landowners and works to leave a ranch better than we find it. Contact Eric St. Pierre to learn more.
