First Bloom

Know her heart,
Answer her question.
Be her hero.

Raising a daughter into a strong, confident woman doesn't come naturally to a man because her questions are far different than those that arise in the heart of a boy. But with God’s help you can give her exactly what she needs. That’s why Being Sons created this turnkey 3 day adventure to strengthen your relationship and help you become your daughter’s hero for life.

What is First Bloom?

First Bloom is a 3 day/2 night one-on-one weekend for fathers with daughters age 7 to 13 years old. We use adventure, sacred teaching and lots of joy to help fathers pursue and encourage their maturing daughters. At First Bloom we will help you navigate your daughter’s transition from girl to woman and help you make decisive course corrections before larger issues arise.
