Students Camps!


FCA Camps are amazing experiences for student-athletes and adult volunteers.  FCA has running (cross-country/track), swimming, and triathlon camps for middle to high school students across the country.  If you've got or know a student, get them to camp and watch the Lord impact their lives forever!

    Inline Champions!


    FCA Endurance had a major presence at the US’s largest inline marathon.  Team FCA Endurance won the Non-profit Corporate Challenge at this year’s Northshore Inline Marathon in Duluth, MN on September 13th.  The Team was captained by MN Teammate Brian Williams, and included Don Patton (FL), Jill Milbauer (MN), Jeff Milbauer (MN), Char Rotvold (MN), Lois Williams (MN), and Heather Sabin (MN).  In addition to skating, the Team was able to gather for fellowship and prayer.  Next year, other ministry events are in the works including an expo presence, pre-race prayer, and race service.  In addition to the trophy plate and some great recognition, the race organization will make a gift back to our ministry.  Praise God for a cool blessing!
