Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring more than one son?
Yes, we do allow it, but we don't recommend it as highly as bringing one son at a time. Connecting one heart to one heart is what really grows a relationship.

What are the high adventure activities?
We can't guarantee what our activites will be each year, but in the past we have done a high alpine hike, an exciting, all-day mountain-bike ride, and challenging rock climbing and rappelling.

How scary are the adventures?
Our high adventure activities will definitely get your blood pumping, but no one will be pushed into anything they don't feel comfortable doing. We will encourage you to be adventurous, but most of all we want you to have a great time.

How physically fit do I need to be?
Our adventures are designed so that almost anyone can participate. Of course, the better shape you are in, the more fun you will have.

What are the age limits for the adventures?
Our minimum recommended age is 15, and there is no maximum age. Many of the sons are mid to late teens, though on our adventures we may have 25, 35 even 45 year old sons attend with their fathers.

How big are the adventures?
We keep the group small so that we can have a more powerful experience together. For the 2012 season we will limit the roster to 9 sets of fathers and sons for each camp.

Can you help me in my struggle to have a healthy
relationship with my son?
It is hard to make promises because so much depends on the participants' commitment to courageous action. We anticipate the time will be blessed with an abundance of success in building strong, healthy relationships.

Could I attend with a young person I am mentoring?
We describe our adventures as father and son, but we welcome and encourage the attendance of committed mentors and their protégés.

Would this be something for me and my son-in-law to enjoy together?
We encourage that fathers and their sons-in-law attend. It is a great way to invest in the parents of your grandchildren.
