Our Father/Son Retreat is uniquely designed to provide quality time alone for fathers and sons. This retreat will give you the opportunity to get away for a few days and help equip you to not only grow closer to the Lord, but also grow closer to each other as fathers and sons.

Theme:  MAN (and boys) VS. WILD!!!
Men (and Boys), it's a Wild World out there, and there are many elements trying to attack our spiritual lives every day.  This weekend will help provide you with the necessary tools to take on the danger of life and learn to survive as a team!  Our main focus for our Wild Men (and Boys) is...

Two are better than one...If one falls down his friend can help him up...Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

We have a fantastic weekend designed to help you strengthen your father/son bond and have a good time doing it!!
