If you register by June 30th, 2024 there is a discounted rate of $40 per person or a maximum of $120 per family.
After June 30th the cost is $50 per person with a maximum of $150 per family. We want this to be affordable for everyone. Registration deadline August 19th, 2024.
If the cost is prohibitive for you or someone you know, please reach out to us. We have a limited number of scholarships available for those that need some help.
Your registration includes your lodging and six meals.
Our sessions feature a range of activities, including Bible and worldview teachings, singing, prayer, sword drills, and trivia, all thoughtfully put together to engage both fathers and sons. We want you to be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to step into everything that God has created and called you to be.
While we highly recommend attending all sessions, but we understand the demands of busy schedules and allow for flexibility in adjusting attendance to the sessions.
The retreat is for dads and sons of all ages — including grandfathers! (There’s no minimum or maximum age.)
Yes! We will have many dads who will bring multiple sons with them.
We have a number of different options for lodging.
There are camp dorms available. These consist of bunkbeds in a large room with bathrooms and showers in an adjacent building.
If you already have a place at Brown City Camp you are welcome to utilize it during the retreat.
If you’re looking for a more rustic adventure you can tent camp, the bathrooms and showers will be available.
You can come Thursday after school, so they would only have to take one day out of school. We recognize the importance of education but also acknowledge that school days are often taken off for things that we deem important: sporting events, vacations, opening days, etc.
We believe the investment is worth the sacrifice.
