Father/Son Camp

May 13-15, 2011
Cost: $205.00
Registration

Sometimes as fathers we are unsure about how to engage in our sons' lives in meaningful ways. Coaching or watching their sports teams doesn't equal connection, and although there are lots of great things to do with your kids, finding a way to really touch their lives can be hard.

In the book, "Wild at Heart", John Eldredge says a boy derives his identity, his masculinity, and the answers to his deepest questions about himself from his father. On the other hand, God created Christian fathers for their roles - equipped each of us with a good heart that carries a very powerful presence in our sons' lives. Every father knows that this can be a double-edged sword, though, too. Think about your father. No matter how "good" or "bad" a parent he was, you looked up to him for love, guidance and encouragement. Father/Son? Camp is designed and structured to create a meaningful shared experience for you and your son(s). We are confident that this time spent together will help redefine your relationship.

This unique Mission:Uprising weekend will consist of lots of shared time with your son(s), just doing fun stuff together. Available activities include: zip line, rock climbing wall, fishing, trap and skeet, canoeing and paintball wars. We will have four very short teaching moments throughout the weekend as well. We want the boys to know that they have a heavenly Father who loves them as well. We guarantee you will walk away with a lifetime of memories.

Father/Daughter Camp

October 14-16, 2011
Cost: $205.00
Registration

For most Dads, engaging in our daughters' lives is a more daunting idea than it is with sons. They are little women, and let's face it, we haven't even scratched the surface of understanding the full-grown women in our lives yet! Mission:Uprising's father/daughter camps are designed and structured to create a special bonding experience for you and your daughter.

John Eldredge and his wife, Stasi, reveal in their book, Captivating, that a girl learns what it means to be a woman from her mother, but from her father comes an understanding of the value that a woman has, the value she possesses even now, as a girl. She will learn mercy and tenderness from Mom, but some big questions, like "Am I lovely?" and "Am I captivating?" can only be answered by her father. We dads hold a very powerful place in the young hearts of our girls, and they will forever look to us to answer those questions.

If you have been looking for ways to open the lines of communication (and keep them open!) with your princess(es), we believe this is the place to start. This weekend spent together will give you the opportunity you've needed to start answering those big questions for your daughter(s), just by spending time together. Enjoy the zip line, rock climbing wall, fishing, horseback riding, and canoeing. The weekend also includes four very short teaching moments, in order to give the ladies an introduction to their heavenly Father who loves them so much. We know you will both leave with cherished shared memories.
