Inspiring all ages Camps with Christian Values

Camp for father and son

spending time together as father and son & strengthening bonds.

The weekend experience explores:

• The importance of the father and son bond for both generations
• The journey of adolescence
• Becoming a man
• Dealing with anger
• Friendship with girls and women
• The quest for identity
• Rite of Passage

How do we raise good men? How do we produce men that are alive, real and courageous; who know their purpose and meaning, who aren’t afraid of the adventure, who long for the quest, who will fight for truth.

Set over a weekend, the program involves: short keynote sessions, small group and father/son sharing, a wide range of challenging and engaging activities (which includes adventure activities such as high ropes course, flying fox etc), reflection and prayer. The centrepiece of the program is a Rite of Passage on Saturday night. The weekend concludes with a Father’s Blessing and commissioning.

What is the question that haunts every man?

Every man needs to receive a “blessing,” as Gary Smalley writes, from his father. He needs to hear with his ears, see with his eyes and believe in his heart, that the person who he is, is good enough in his father’s eyes. Every boy wants his father to give him a sense of male acceptance, affirmation and affection. Boys who don’t receive this from their fathers can spend decades trying to prove to themselves and to others that their actions, accomplishments and characters are worthy of their father’s approval.

How does a boy learn to be a man?

Every boy dreams of being a hero and making a difference in his world. But what happens to these dreams? How does he come to understand his masculinity? Who will form him, who will lead him, who will inspire him, who will release him into the world of men? His father. This is a big challenge and a very difficult job; one that cannot be done alone.
