What is MAn Camp?
Man Camp: A 4-Day Immersive Experience
Man Camp is not just your ordinary retreat; it's a transformative journey designed to reignite the fire within men, connecting them with the great outdoors and fostering a deep sense of camaraderie. Over the course of four exhilarating days, participants dive headfirst into a world where the wilderness becomes their classroom and nature their guide. Through adventurous activities like hiking, axe throwing, and team-building exercises, men are encouraged to push their limits, uncover untapped potential, and overcome obstacles as a united force.
Who should attend:
men looking to challenge themselves.
Men are not afraid to do difficult things. Growth can only happen when we embrace the uncomfortable and step into the unknown. If nothing changes, nothing will change, Do something different and spend the weekend away from the couch. We all know we could be doing better in most areas of our lives. We all want to be better men, better husbands, better fathers, and better human beings. Simply wanting to be better at these things will not yield results, we must put in the work. Take this invitation as a call to action to implement life long change.
men who hate the outdoors or are intimidated by it.
Never camped before - great. Afraid of tent camping in the mountains on a cold February weekend - perfect. These concerns are the very reasons you need to commit to be here, earning a seat at the campfire. The group of men already committed to this event have a wealth of experience and they will not let you fail. Don’t let the fear of doing something new hold you back from an amazing experience.
Men that are struggling.
Don’t continue to go it alone, it takes courage to seek out help. Their’s never been a more difficult time to be an authentic man in today’s world. We’re all working through our own struggles. The first step in learning to “Struggle Well” is to open up and accept the idea that change is possible. You aren’t broken, and there is nothing wrong with you,
Men that are tired of Zoom calls and teleconferences.
