FATHER/ SON ROCK CLIMBING RETREAT

When

August 22nd through August 24th

Details

Have video games dominated your son’s spare time? Are you ready for some quality time with your boy away from the TV?

This summer Becknology is offering father and son retreats. We will be camping out and climbing at Red River Gorge in the beautiful Natural Bridge State Park located about an hour east of Lexington, Kentucky within the Daniel Boone National Forest.

This program is designed to deepen the relationship between you and your son and to create lasting memories that he will carry well into his adult life. The two of you will camp and climb together. You will be his belayer and encourager as you watch him climb high above you. This two-night trip will prove to be a time of spiritual refreshment and development. You’ll have fun times roasting marshmallows around a campfire, hiking through beautiful nature scenes, and just being together as father and son. You’ll also learn the skills and techniques of rock climbing and rappelling. Click HERE to sign up while there are still spaces available!

Q: What does Becknology provide?

A: We will provide a small day pack and all climbing gear. We will also provide all your food except for dinner on the second night. Tents are available for rent.
