“Father’s Embrace” is a 3 day/ 2 night camp held the last weekend in June every year. Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

An application process is required. - 10 boys are chosen and mentored for 10 months after the weekend. A Graduation Ceremony is held at the completion of the program.  The Father's Embrace Program creates a safe environment for young men and mentors to spend dedicated time together and in group activities. 

Each day has a specific intention: 

 

Day 1: WHO I AM NOW? 

Day 2:  WHO DO I WANT TO BE? 

Day 3: CHOOSING THE MAN I WILL BECOME.

 

This 3-day training is led by experienced facilitators and trained staff, and provides a 2:1 ratio of men to young men. During the weekend, young men are challenged and supported through a series of carefully facilitated activities designed to bring out their feelings in a safe way. This creates a powerful experience that helps young men cope with the ordeals they will face during adolescence. They learn about integrity and honor as they bond with a tribe. They learn about mission and service. This weekend is a life- changing experience young men will never forget.
