Sierra Adventures in Fatherhood

Adventures In Fatherhood


In today’s busy world it is easy for schedules and plans to interfere with a family’s values and priorities. The Adventures in Fatherhood is designed to allow Fathers and their children to recognize the importance and value of their relationship with each other. This is an opportunity for you and your son or daughter to set the Cell Phone, Blackberry and IPod down and focus on your relationship with each other and with God.

The Adventures in Fatherhood course offers fathers and their son or daughter, a balance of adventure elements along with times of rest and relaxation. This combination of elements ensures your chance of creating long lasting memories through adventure but also through moments of conversation and dialogue.

During your time the staff of Summit Adventure will be working with you and your son and daughter by offering you tools and strategies. One of our goals is to help bridge the generational gap that can often occur between a parent and child. We will also focus on developing a more open level of communication. Finally Summit Adventure will create an open venue for you and your child to discuss everything from your favorite baseball teams to intimate details regarding faith and spirituality.
