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.
"A tremendous, life-giving event. Each day was well planned, full of activity and the group sessions were on target and relevant to the focus of CITR."
– Dale and Chandler W.
"I consider it the perfect week for Zach and myself and I know that the money and time spent was
nothing less than an investment in my life and more important in Zach's and my future grandchildren’s lives."
– Jack R.
"The mountain biking and rock climbing bordered on spectacular. The setting was magnificent.
Our study sessions challenged us in ways that are difficult to find in most church settings today."
– Stephen B.
"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.
"I want to thank you for an outstanding adventure in life and the pursuit of biblical manhood.
This experience was outstanding. Everything was carefully planned and thought through to provide the best trip possible.
The staff were amazing. They modeled the values they taught. The times with our sons allowed us to take strategic steps
in our relationships with them and in their individual pursuit of becoming God’s man. I would highly recommend it!"
– Jeff B.
"CITR exceeded my expectations!
Something special happened this week between my son Chris and me... and among a group of men and young men who had never met before.
The Holy Spirit was present and hearts were knit together.
I thank God that you caught the vision to restore the hearts of sons to their fathers and the hearts of fathers to their sons.
I left Christ in the Rockies with a sense that this was accomplished … and more!"
– Herb M.
"First and foremost I want to say thank you for serving all of the dads and sons on this adventure.
Your attitude and hearts were exemplary and a tremendous witness to Christ. Your work made this experience affordable and possible to many."
– Scott and Luke B.
"The opportunities in life have been many; however the decisions to take advantage have been few and far between.
As a father I have felt that I had failed in so many ways. While I know that my son has always loved me I have
never taken him on a vacation or any adventure in 23yrs of his life. This adventure and special training will
truly go down as hallmark moments for both my son and me."
– Greg C.
"FANTASTIC FATHER-SON ADVENTURE!!! You can count on my financial support and prayers!"
– Jack M.
"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.
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!!!
I 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.
