OPPORTUNITIES THAT CAN CHANGE A LIFE.

3rd Coast Country Outdoors Foundation creates outdoor experiences built around faith, mentorship, responsibility and connection.

From a young person’s first hunt or fishing trip to providing the gear that gets a family outdoors, our programs are designed to remove barriers and create opportunities that can last a lifetime.

IT'S MORE THAN AN EXPERIENCE.
IT'S SOMETHING TO CARRY FORWARD.

3CCO FIRST HUNT

A KID. A MENTOR. A DONATED HUNT. A LIFETIME MEMORY.

For many young people, the biggest barrier to hunting isn't interest—it's opportunity.

3CCO First Hunt connects youth with experienced mentors and donated hunting opportunities while emphasizing safety, responsibility, conservation, and respect for the outdoors.

The goal isn't simply to help someone harvest their first animal. It's to give them the knowledge, confidence and relationships that allow the experience to mean something long after the hunt is over.

THE HUNT MAY LAST A DAY.
THE LESSONS CAN LAST A LIFETIME.

CAST & CONNECT

MORE THAN JUST CATCHING FISH.

Not every meaningful day on the water ends with a trophy fish.

Cast & Connect creates fishing experiences that bring youth, families, and mentors together in an environment where conversations happen naturally, confidence grows, and memories are made.

Whether it’s someone’s first cast or simply an opportunity to spend a day outdoors with people who care, the purpose goes beyond what ends up on the end of the line.

THE FISH IS THE BONUS.
THE CONNECTION IS THE POINT.

3CCO GEAR UP

THE RIGHT GEAR CAN OPEN THE DOOR.

Sometimes the difference between wanting to experience the outdoors and actually getting there is simply having the equipment to do it.

3CCO Gear Up helps put new and gently used outdoor gear into the hands of youth and families who can use it—from fishing equipment and hunting gear to outdoor essentials.

Through donations from individuals, businesses, and partners, we can remove one more barrier between someone and their opportunity to experience the outdoors..

GEAR GETS USED.
OPPORTUNITIES GET REMEMBERED.

FAITH MEETS THE OUTDOORS

MORE THAN A PROGRAM. IT'S THE FOUNDATION OF WHY WE SERVE.

Faith is at the heart of who we are. Whether we're sitting in a blind, standing on the bank, walking through the woods, or simply spending time together outdoors, there are opportunities to encourage, mentor, and invest in one another.

Faith Meets the Outdoors brings Christian values into our programs through service, mentorship, fellowship, and leading by example.

We aren't here to force faith on anyone. We're here to live it—by serving others, caring for God's creation, and helping the next generation understand that their lives have purpose.

FAITH DOESN'T END AT THE CHURCH DOORS.
WE CARRY IT INTO THE OUTDOORS.

STEWARDSHIP & EDUCATION

LEAVE THE OUTDOORS BETTER THAN WE FOUND THEM.

The outdoors gives us incredible opportunities, but those opportunities come with responsibility.

Through education, mentorship and hands-on experiences, 3rd Coast Country Outdoors Foundation encourages youth and families to respect wildlife, care for the land and water, practice ethical outdoor recreation and understand the importance of conservation.

Whether we're teaching someone about wildlife, cleaning up a fishing spot, learning outdoor safety or simply showing the next generation how to respect the land, stewardship is part of everything we do.

WE DON'T JUST INTRODUCE PEOPLE TO THE OUTDOORS.
WE TEACH THEM TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
