The science, craft & adventure of fathering.

The Science

So we know fathers matter, right? The evidence suggests that the more fathers turn up for their kids, meaning the more engaged, empathic and consistent they are, their experience better developmental, educational and health outcomes. Our futures are built on the foundation of strong relationships.

The Craft & Adventure

Our programs are a unique mix of adventure, challenge and informative presentations, which are embedded in an environment that supports a closer relationship between father and child. The adventure challenges provide an opportunity for fathers and children to have fun, work together and connect. While the presentations and discussions allow fathers to reflect, bring clarity to what they value and gain knowledge and skills to test new ways of relating to their children. Fathers and children will return home from the weekend inspired, closer and with some great memories to share – at least that’s what previous dads and kids have told us!

What people are saying

Bodhi and I had such a good time on this retreat over the weekend. It was great connecting with him on a deeper level, meeting like-minded dads to share stories and get some tips from some experts. Totally recommend this for all dads with sons!

It was great to spend time with my son alone and have some special time together. I would definitely recommend the program to other dads. Get out of your comfort zone and just do it.

Hearing other dads experiences was good, it made me realize I am going Ok. All the discussions were really helpful, easy to understand and allowed me to reflect on them over the weekend. I will be back with my other son.
