“Friction”
This is a 3 1/2-day father and son rock climbing adventure! If you have never climbed before, this is the perfect opportunity; if you have, so much the better. This trip is all about developing deeper relationships. Holding the rope for each other as you climb is one of the best ways to increase trust. The commitment required to “belay” one another is substantial. The risk of failing is very real but the rewards from the attempted climbs are worth the effort.
The importance of good communication and a gentle but firm hand on the climbing rope serves as an ideal model for a father and son’s relationship. The combination of a good relationship and good climbing technique increases the chance of successfully reaching the top of the steep granite walls.
This experience can also serve as a powerful metaphor and reminder of the parallels between rock climbing and one’s spiritual journey. For many, rock climbing requires tremendous faith in their divine Belayer.
Trained staff will cover all the “basics” including: safety procedures, proper use of equipment, climber communication and climbing techniques. The majority of the time will be spent “top-roping” climbs that vary in type and difficulty.
For participants with prior rock climbing experience this course provides the opportunity to further develop their skills and their relationships.
Take your relationship to new heights!
“Two are better than one because they have good return for their labor” (Ecclesiastes 4:9)

Man Alive! Mt. Baker
[hide details]
This 4 1/2-day mountaineering course provides relational opportunities for fathers and sons as they engage each other and the challenge of the 10,770 foot Mt. Baker together.
"The glory of God is man fully alive." (St. Irenaeus)
Every dad has good intentions…
But when do those become a reality? That perfect opportunity always seems to be “down the road” after the current busyness passes. But that day never comes. Maybe now is your chance! Don’t regret missed opportunities with your son. Seize the day! Embrace the Adventure!
When you’re in town and you look up at a mountain it seems so small and distant, while whatever issues you’re dealing with in life are huge and engulfing. But when you actually get away to that mountain, those once pressing issues seem insignificant in the midst of the beauty that surrounds you. Ephesians 2:6 says we are seated together with Christ in the heavenlies. If we truly grasp on to that reality, the cares of this world will not carry the weight they once had because they will seem small and distant in the midst of the surpassing glory of Christ.
When was the last time you and your son did something monumental together?
What are you waiting for? Get away from the day to day and spend 4 meaningful days “in the heavenlies” with your son, challenging yourself physically, mentally, and relationally. Explore the world around you as well as the world between you as you rope up and tackle the challenge of the 10,770 foot Mt. Baker together.
Get away with your son and share what really matters; your time, your life, your faith. Share an Adventure in an incredible setting that has the power to create relational bonds and memories that will stand as landmarks, like those mountains, for years to come.
On a glacier there are crevasses to avoid, safe travel techniques to learn, and a rope team you’re connected to and depend on. In life and parenting there’s much of the same.
If you’re ready for an Adventure, we’ll provide the opportunity and biblical framework. You provide the time.
This is no walk in the park,
but then again neither is being a dad.
"Male Bonding" never had such potential!
