The Calvinist Cadet Corps (CCC) is a non-denominational, non-profit Reformed Christian organization that equips men to mentor boys. The ministry establishes clubs primarily in churches. Clubs meet weekly or biweekly and participate in Bible study, crafts, projects, games, and merit badge achievement programs that explore a boy’s specific interest areas.[1] Outside of the club meetings the members participate in church and community service projects, camping, and other outdoor adventure opportunities. The organization also sponsors a triennial international camporee which is a week-long wilderness camping experience. The event typically draws more than 1200 men and boys.[2][3][4]
The Cadet Corps was founded in 1952 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, now the home of the organizational office. As of 2010 it serves 4,000 men and 18,000 boys in approximately 600 clubs in the United States, Canada, Kenya, and Uganda. The organization also shares materials and information with Cadet clubs in New Zealand and a brother organization, the Christian Cadet Corps, in Australia.
The CCC is associated with the GEMS Girls' Clubs (a sister organization) and with ThereforeGo Ministries in the umbrella organization Dynamic Youth Ministries.[5]
