Father-Son Adventure Camp - At this father-son adventure camp in Colorado, fathers help usher their sons into manhood. The week-long event is specifically designed to engage men in high adventure activities such as mountain biking and rock-climbing. During the evenings, lessons in what it means to be a man, inspire sons and fathers to live out authentic, Christian manhood.
Throughout the week each father is given the opportunity to publicly bless his son. There is also time set aside to share with his son what his own manhood journey has been. The week culminates with a ceremony where each father calls his son into manhood and welcomes him into the community of men.
Uganda Mission Trip
Brothers of the Sigma Pi fraternity from the University of GA have participated in supporting a local church that rescues abandoned children in the streets and bush of Uganda. Through their child sponsorship program, they meet basic needs, educate through graduation, and share the love of God. Within their two orphanages, nearly 2,000 children are being nurtured and encouraged in a safe environment.
Mentorship - Sunday evening casual dinners for 20 year old young men to listen to a 50 year old man share his personal life experiences. The idea is to answer the question, what I wish I knew at 20 that would have helped me navigate life better and enjoyed it more. It is an interactive conversation ranging from faith in the work place, decision making process, relationships and a variety of other topics.
