If you happened to talk to any of the Father-Son pairs that went to the Father-Son retreat on February 28th thru March 2nd, they will tell you... you missed an incredible time! Located in Grapeland Texas, Frontier Camp (one of WBC’s sponsored missionary organizations) offers everything you could possibly want from a father-son retreat: from horseback riding, to archery, to high ropes climbing, to zip-lines, to riflery, and great food!
Not only are you physically well fed, but you won’t go spiritually hungry over the weekend either. Author and speaker Shane Sanders challenged boys and their fathers to step up to the plate of 3 of the greatest biblical heroes: Caleb, Jonathan, and Nehemiah. As Shane shared how each of those Old Testament heroes put total reliance on God and showed steadfast determination, he encouraged fathers to remember the weekend’s focus verse: 2 Chronicles 16:9 which says, “for the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless towards him.”
If you ask boys who attended like Caleb Knowles and Samuel John, each of them would tell you their favorite thing was ‘hands down’, launching the air-pressure powered 2-liter bottle rockets into the sky Saturday evening. Some rockets traveled over 100 feet high, and across a lake that was longer than a football field! Fathers and sons: be sure to join us next year for an unforgettable weekend of memories with each other!
The Father-Son Retreat happens annually the last week of February. Frontier Camp also offers a Mother-Daughter retreat in early November and a Father-Daughter retreat for girls ages 11 to 17 in the first weekend in January! Additionally, Frontier Camp features week long Summer camps for elementary, junior high, and high school aged kids. For more information on any of these, check out the website here.
