TRAILHEAD EXPEDITIONS

Outfitting fathers and sons to take the tried and true road together.

Making Men of Sons and Sons of Men.

Every man wants to be confident he has what it takes to navigate life, but sadly, few men do. We live in a culture that has forgotten how to raise boys into authentic men. God did not create us in His image to become merely followers. He created us to be His sons.

How would you live differently if you truly knew God was your good Father?

Come find out.

grow close through an adventure together

"Our time together 1 on 1 opened the door to conversations we've needed to have. We now have categories based on a shared experience to talk about deep issues.My favorite part was witnessing Alex hear from God himself."

-Jason (and Alex) Peet
Trailhead/First Tracks/First Bloom Alumni
"I hoped to have an adventure with my son that we wouldn't forget. I got that and much more. It was great to see my son come alive and see other men pour into him and invite him up into true masculinity."

– Darrell and Isaac Kanagy
Trailhead/First Tracks Alumni
"This was very valuable. It forced me to think different. I feel as if my dad and I are closer - as brothers as opposed to just father-son. I loved sleeping under the stars, sharing stories, the night hike and FUN:30, and the hour I had with my dad to really talk."

-Calvin (and father Bryan) Byrd
-Trailhead Alumni
“I got to know my son better watching him with other men. He had a few needed ‘Aha!’ moments. God showed up.”

– Aaron (and Owen) Peterson
Trailhead/BASIC/First Bloom Alumni
“He now has a framework and understanding of what a man is… We can now take this journey of being sons together.”

-Jon (and Jayden) Chen
Trailhead Alumni
"A favorite memory?.. Watching my kid see first hand God speaking to him and being able to recognize it.”

-Orlando (and Boaz) Ortiz
Trailhead/First Tracks Alumni

“When my son turned twelve I had no idea how to raise him into a good man...

and that scared me. That’s when God began to father us both. Since that difficult season a decade ago, so much has changed. Now, seeing my son love well and look to God as Father is one of my greatest joys. I want to help you and your son both experience God as your Father, reveal God’s proven path to manhood, and equip you to take this incredible journey together, as sons."

- Jay Heck (and son Baer), Being Sons Director

DETAILS

This trip is a one-on-one adventure for fathers (or father figures) to have with sons (or spiritual sons) and is limited to 7 father/son pairs. While the backdrop for this weekend is adventure there will be no activities that require s serious level of fitness. That said, do not expect this to be easy at all. Two men paddling a kayak together for 20+ miles of river in possible headwinds is anything but easy. But it’s nothing that can’t be handled with a humble and adventurous spirit. Participation in even the hardest parts is mandatory because there is no backing out in the middle of nowhere.

Trailhead Cost includes: All campsite fees, great cooked meals and snacks, all basic gear including sleeping bag + high quality insulated sleeping pad, tents, inflatable canoes, professional guide(s) for adventures, and all presentations and materials.
