CONQUEST  FOR BOYS AGE 5-16

What is Conquest? Conquest is based on Catholic principles of spiritual development. Its programs are designed to instill virtue, develop character and encourage spiritual growth, while offering its participants challenging physical, intellectual and spiritual activities within an atmosphere of adventure. Weekly meetings that consist of directed virtue training as well as athletic activities.

Who can Join? Boys Aged 5-16 can participate. Quad Cities Conquest is a Father and Son club, so we highly encourage fathers to participate as well. There is no better leadership training for a boy than watching his own father lead. We have boys from Davenport all the way to Prophetstown that participate. While the program is based on Catholic principles, boys from all faiths are welcome.

When and Where? Mondays 6-8pm at Christ The King Believer's Together Center First Campaign begins in early September. Join anytime, our program lasts from September-April.
