Christian Outdoor Fellowship of America

Dr. Michael Brooks shares a personal story while in the outdoors.

National COFA Director Kevin Bellamy shares family life and how being a part of COFA strengthen family bonds in the great outdoors.

Let's be honest about the challenge we're facing. Technology has brought many blessings, but it's also become what I call a 'digital monster' that threatens to devour meaningful family connections. 

Recent studies show that the average family spends less than 40 minutes in meaningful conversation each day, while spending over 4 hours on various screens.  

I see it everywhere—families sitting together in restaurants, each person scrolling through their phones. 

Parents checking work emails while their children are trying to tell them about their day. 

Teenagers texting friends while physically present with family.
