Alumni Testimonials
Our adventures are fantastic life-changing experiences that can lead to life-long transformation. Participants can form new ideas, but it is only through a process that those ideas will become reality.
Our goal is to provide participants with a process so that a year later, they will not only be saying, "We had an awesome time in the Rockies," but they will add, "And it was just the beginning of a process that has dramatically changed our lives."
"And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds."
Hebrews 10:24
Read what these participants had to say about the experience.
"Dozens of times, I've told the story of this "group of men from Colorado" and their passion for creating this powerful father/son retreat. I think there is a powerful, growing trend that is just beginning to swell as more and more fathers discover the power of visionary leadership principles. You guys are laying the foundation at a unique moment in time. The core of my work is discovering powerful new trends. I'm as sure of this one as I am of any."
– Carl C.
"I would be happy to make suggestions about ways to improve, but I don’t think I would change a thing. Clayton accepted Christ several years ago, but this week has changed him. He has seen that in God’s economy, it is normal for a young man to be counter-cultural. It changed his life, and that is worth everything!"
– Scott H.
"St. Malo is an ideal venue for your mission. The team of volunteers were incredible. The activities were appropriate and bonding memories were created with our sons and other men."
– Kyle S.
"Thank you for the vision! Your hearts for fathers and sons were most apparent. Your candidness was a blessing and encouraged us to be likewise candid with each other and with our sons. The curriculum was perfect for the week – enough teaching and training combined with the adventures. The "ice breaker" of building the potato canon the first day was perfect – it got the sons and fathers thinking and working together."
– Anonymous father
"I can honestly say it seemed to me that you have been doing this forever. It was well organized, strategically planned, Holy Spirit driven!! This week greatly surpassed our every expectation."
– Wade and David M.
"Curriculum is fantastic and the setting is a perfect match. The ceremony was awesome. Thanks for the seriousness and deliberate meaning in all of it!"
– Anonymous father
"You're being real was perfect and your vision is so obvious."
– Danny and Drew B.
The following comments are from a father to his son regarding the letter his son wrote to him as part of the program:
"I keep reading the letter you wrote to me. Makes me cry. It is so awesome!!! Will hang it on my wall to remind me of you and our loving relationship. Then, it'll be a very long time before you will have to do this but, I would love you to put it in my coffin with me if JESUS doesn’t come get us first."
– Jimmy C.
