THE WEEKEND
THE COMPASS always points towards the earth’s magnetic north pole. Its use in orientation is essential. The compass is an analogy for fathers and father figures. We facilitate the direction in which our sons move. The orientation we provide for their journey is essential. We provide our boys’ their initial guidance, direction and support as they map their life’s path.

THE PURPOSE The Weekend is to create an opportunity for dads and other male role models to gather with their boys and young men. We encourage grandfathers, uncles, mentors and big brothers to join us as we play, learn, grow, create, honor and have fun.
We begin with the end in mind and welcome all sons over age 5. It is our intention that:
Each father and son will leave with a clear model of feelings — what they are, how they are experienced and the choices concerning them — in a simple format.
Each son will have a deepened sense of purpose, as to who he is and why he's here.
Each son age 13 and older be welcomed into the circle of men and honored through a ceremony prepared by the fathers.
Each father and son will leave with a model for simple, clear and clean conflict resolution. The intention is that no one leaves “unresolved.”
GAMES & ACTIVITIES Swimming, softball, horseback riding, ceremony, capture the flag, mask making, storytelling, drumming, plenty of nature and paintball!
