Calvinist Cadet Corps Sporting Clay Shoot
-
ATTENTION ALL SPORTSMEN: The Calvinist Cadet Corps is hosting the fourth annual Sporting Clay Shoot to benefit the 2020 International Camporee in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (specifically for the riflery and archery ranges). This benefit will also help offset the overall cost for Cadets to attend the camporee. The event will be held on Saturday, August 25 at the Blendon Pines Gun Club in Zeeland, Michigan. For more information, call the Corps office at 616-241-5616 ext 4, or check out the Cadet website under the “events” tab. Everyone is welcome! Registration forms are available from your Cadet club’s head counselor, or you can register at our website: www.calvinistcadets.org. Lunch will be served at 11:30am. Join us for a fun filled day! If you can’t make it out for the event but still want to be involved, we are looking for people willing to sponsor stations or make a pledge for a participating shooter. For more information on these giving opportunities, contact Kim at the Corps office at the number listed above.
