More Than A Game: Changing lives one arrow at a time By Lindey Young Greensburg, KY - The newly added archery program is only a few months old but already understands the Campbellsville University athletics mantra - More Than a Game. On Wednesday, Sept. 16 the archery team members headed out to Christian Archery Ministry Outreach (CAMO) to assist Jason Keltner, director of CAMO. The student-athletes were involved with mentoring and ministering 40 homeschool students from the Adair County Home School association. Head coach Larry Creason explained what a wonderful opportunity this is for his team and for the young group of homeschooled kids. "Getting involved helps us set up a network with the community," said Creason. "There are some here that might not normally hear about Campbellsville University and to learn about the Lord. It helps our young men and women to associate with some kids that are interested in archery and also be able to share their faith." Changing lives, one arrow at a time is CAMO's mission statement. Keltner describes how easy it is to connect people to Christ by using the vehicle of the outdoor and shooting a bow and arrow. "Many scriptures mention the wilderness, the beauty and the creation of it," said Keltner. "In Romans it talks about how nobody can really say they weren't able to see God's power because of the creation. Anytime you are outdoors, you can just look around and see all the things that God has created- based on that, we are all held accountable. "It is really nice to be able to get adults and youth in a setting were they can see God's creation and its beauty. Then we are able to share scripture with them which talks about their relationship with Christ and their walk." CAMO started at 10amET with everyone meeting and praying as a group. Keltner and Greg Estes, right hand man to Keltner, explained the rules of archery and what it looks like to be on the archery range. All 40 homeschooled kids were then split up into two different groups. Group A went to the archery range and group B went to bible story with trivia and a game. After about an hour the group flipped-flopped and learned about the other activity. In the afternoon, everyone was involved with the archery competitions. The kids were spilt up into teams and completed in Olympic style games. Nearing the end, the entire camp came back together to participate in a group prayer and talk about what they learned from the day's activities. Brittany Douglas, a freshman from Nelsonville, Ohio was excited about the opportunity to teach and to share the Lord's word. "It means a lot to me just to be out here and help the homeschooled," said Douglas. "It will help them get better, me get better and everyone closer to God. Our relationships we form today could build for their futures and help them succeed in everyday life." The archery tem plans to be involved with CAMO through the rest of the school year to help witness and improve technique. In fact, during Green County's fall break on October 5, CAMO is hosting the middle and high school in which the archery team will be involved with mentoring and ministering. The team members involved with CAMO's activities; Joshua Bratcher, sophomore from Munfordville, Ky.; Katelyn DeSpain, freshman from Bardstown, Ky.; Brittany Douglas,; Wade Meredith, sophomore from Bonnieville, Ky.; Madison Myatt, sophomore from Tompkinsville, Ky.; Justin Nelson, junior from Big Springs, Ky.; Corey Pennington, junior from Tompkinsville, Ky.; and head coach Larry Creason.
