Activities include backpacking, rock climbing, a peak climb, cross country hiking and navigation, morning focus or devotional times, asking creative questions, a duo time for each pair of dads and kids, and evening dialogue times. This means that a major goal of the program is to transfer the lessons and insights learned through the course activities and discussions to the participant's every day life, relationships and faith. Adventures in Fatherhood is an opportunity to build shared experiences and deeper communication that can act as a tremendous resource as kids move through adolescence.
Dads can bring sons and daughters age ten and up on the AIF course.
In addition to Adventures in Fatherhood, Summit Adventure offers similar opportunities for moms and their kids on the Moms Course and Moms and Adult Kids course, and for the whole family on the Family Course. What People are Saying. Paul Novak attended the Dads and Adult Kids course with his son Mike, and Paul Haaga brought his daughter Blythe on an Adventures in Fatherhood course. Both wrote to tell us of the impact of the Summit Adventure ministry on their relationships. Neither of us had any idea what to expect except that, of course, we knew Summit is a Christian organization and that there would be some Christian aspect to the adventure.
