In 2021 , we expanded the plans for Camp Gatorback . We prepared for five days and planned for 100 kids . We used a VBS curriculum and had a two-hour event for the kids . The attendance was 50 to 70 kids each day . With that many kids , you have to be prepared . We had snacks and drinks . We had grandfathers to escort kids to and from the portalets . We made sure all of our camp staff had passed a background check . And most importantly we made sure to have enough staff to manage a large group of youngsters . It was a huge success .

In 2020 , we established a relationship with the promoter for the

Daytona Supercross . It takes place inside the Daytona Speedway during the first five days of Bike Week . This year was our third year to help with the Daytona SuperCross .

After a meeting with the owners of MX Sports , we were offered an opportunity to present a Camp Daytona during next year ' s event . MX Sports is also the promoter for the Loretta Lynn ' s qualifiers and annual Amateur races in Hurricane Mills , Tennessee . I know CMA members have been working the yearly race , but I ' m not sure where

we are connected to the qualifying races that take place around the country . Another event promoted by MX Sports is racing called Grand National Cross Country or GNCC Races .

We are reaching a future generation of potential CMA members and future brothers and sisters in Christ through these dirt racing events . If God calls you to this avenue of ministry , don ' t hesitate to answer His call . CMA
