Father and Son (age 10-13) Connection weekend
May 24-26 2024
“What a humbling experience to have my son cross the line and start his journey into manhood not only in the presence of great men but supported by great men. I could not have given this experience to my son in a lifetime by myself … I know I have given him the greatest start to his life as a young man.”- Father
Father and Son Connection Camp
Rites Together has now developed an opportunity for groups of fathers and sons to connect and explore their connections and relationships.
The program provides the opportunity for a fun, connecting and insightful weekend for boys and their dads aged 10-13yrs. This program offers fathers and sons time in exploring nature based activities as well as time for reflection and connection with others in a group setting. The program is a great preparation and skill development for a future Stepping into Manhood Rites of Passage program for 13-16 year old and marks current challanges for the boys such as: transitions to high school; awakening to body changes; and greater exposure to the adult world . This camp offers quality father-son time, lots of fun activities and opportunities for reflection and sharing in a safe and supportive environment.
