  • Why Attend the Father & Son Wilderness Weekend

    Time in the woods has a way of slowing life down and bringing people together. This class gives fathers and sons the chance to work as a team, solve real problems, and build something with their own hands. Along the way, boys gain confidence, practical skills, and a deeper connection with both nature and their dads. In a world filled with screens and distractions, this is an opportunity to step outside, learn something real, and share an adventure together. These are the kinds of experiences that often become stories families remember for years.
  • Father & Son Shelter Building Adventure 
    One day in the woods with your son can become a story he tells for the rest of his life.

    Friday | 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
    Waynesville, North Carolina

    Spend the day in the woods learning one of the most essential wilderness skills: building shelter.

    In this hands-on experience, fathers and sons (ages 8–14) will work side by side to gather materials and build real survival shelters using the forest around them. You'll problem solve together, work as a team, and learn practical wilderness skills that can last a lifetime.

    The class takes place on a beautiful private 80-acre property just outside Waynesville, filled with creeks, hardwood forest, and open space to build.

    This workshop also prepares you for the Father & Son Wilderness Weekend, where boys can return the next day to sleep overnight in the shelters they built with their dads.

    The overnight experience is completely optional.

    What you'll do
    🌲 Learn multiple wilderness shelter designs
    🌲 Build a real survival shelter together
    🌲 Work side-by-side as father and son
    🌲 Gain practical wilderness survival skills

    Location: Waynesville, NC
