"AND LET US CONSIDER HOW TO STIR UP ONE ANOTHER TO LOVE AND GOOD WORKS."
Dads truly are a boy’s hero! Boys look up to you, learn life lessons from you, and build a deeper relationship and mutual respect for you by “playing” together and having fun outdoors…both with you and with other dads and sons. This exceptional father-son weekend offers plenty of fishing, hiking, canoeing, axe throwing, archery, fun games and more which create life-time memories and a stronger bond.

CAMP FAQ:
Camp Carl is a hidden gem in Ravenna, Ohio. Positioned on over 300 acres, it boasts lakeside views, quiet ponds, and a canopy of trees. We pride ourselves in offering amenities and accommodations that are updated as needed and given great care. our staff is friendly and willing to offer assistance, as needed.
Once you’re signed up, we’ll send you a full packing list through email. The short version is: one duffel bag and one small backpack filled with your clothes, water bottle, toiletries, and closed-toed shoes. If you’re tent or hammock camping and choose to bring your own food-you may need cooking equipment and of course the food. Don’t forget your Bible, bug spray, and sunscreen!
Fathers need to be able to run 1 mile in under 6 minutes. Kidding. But if you choose to tent or hammock camp those options are up to you how far you hike into the Camp Carl acreage. Could be 1/4 mile or could be up to 1 mile. Tent camping can also be on main camp in the grass area with no hiking option. Up to you and your son to how adventurous you want to be!
Then we’ll probably get wet and muddy. Play on!
Then throw a football nearby. Hey, we want them to hear the message, but it’s loud enough for them to hear it even if you are not right in front of the stage.
