A weekend experience for fathers and their teenage sons.

GROWING GOOD MEN is an experientially-based program which encourages and enables fathers and sons to strengthen their relationship and to explore important issues of growing into manhood. It is designed for fathers and their adolescent sons aged 12 to 18 years (school years between 7 and 12).

The weekend experience explores:

  • The importance of the father and son bond for both generations

  • The journey of adolescence

  • Becoming a man

  • Dealing with anger

  • Friendship with girls and women

  • The quest for identity

  • Rite of Passage

Set over a weekend, the program involves: short keynote sessions, small group and father/son sharing, a wide range of challenging and engaging activities (which may include high ropes courses or similar adventure activities) and reflection.

The centrepiece of the program is a Rite of Passage on Saturday night. The weekend concludes with a Father's Blessing and commissioning.
