BIBLE DRILL is a rigorous physical training program that actually centers around Bible and faith fact memorization. Starting at "recruit" level, young men ages 11-16 can earn rank, recognized nationwide, starting at Private, and ending at Sergeant Major. Each rank includes Bible memorization, Faith fact information, and identification of theme location in the Old and New Testaments. The only passing score for promotion is 100%. Thus far every recruit has graduated the rigorous Bootcamp experience, and been promoted at least one rank.
The Highlight of the program for Bible Drillers is the PFT - Physical Fitness Training. It is tough. It is fun! It is ranked according to several events which are scored. Exceptional PFT scores earn the right to wear the bronze, silver or gold star PFT award.
BIBLE DRILL is a fun, challenging, and exciting way to spend a week. In it's fourth year now, it continues to draw young men from around the country.
If you need something new and exciting to get your kids involved in Bible memorization or if you just need a program with lots of fun, camaraderie, and physical challenges, BIBLE DRILL is the next generation.
