Father/Son Minicamps

Note: Except for campfires and some outings, the Tree Climber and Stockade programs are run separately with completely different schedules. Fathers with boys in both age groups should consider different minicamp dates for each boy.

Father/son minicamps provide a high energy, outdoor experience where a boy and his father (or sponsoring adult) spend three days eating great food, sleeping in cabins nestled in the woods, playing, and learning together.

Start the day together, father and son, in God's word, participate in leathercraft (animal skins), sports, swimming, archery, riflery, sling shot, hiking, low ropes course, canoeing and much more. You will end each day in songs, skits, and a memorable message around a roaring campfire.

Father/Son Tree Climber Minicamps
(Completion of grades K through 2)

In addition to the activities listed above, Tree Climbers will have their own club meetings with host Woody the Raccoon. Archery bows, air rifles, sports, hiking, low ropes course, and leathercraft are geared for their age and abilities.

Father/Son Stockade Minicamps
(Completion of grades 3 through 6)

Stockade boys proceed on an age graded program with larger bows, .22 rifles, a more challenging ropes course, hiking, and sports. Fathers participate in all activities with their sons including leathercraft (animal skins) and optional low level climbing/rappeling.
