We work to create access to an ongoing week-end or week-long Christian camp in the Rocky Mountains for fathers alongside their children. Ideally, these camping activities would be subsidized for ALL fathers and their children who need financial assistance. All fathers, regardless of their religious affiliation, are welcome. This camp environment and access would be for ALL FATHERS, ALL OF THEIR CHILDREN, and THEIR GRANDFATHERS. - We encourage the development of father and children (both boys and girls) ongoing events in their religious communities. Events could include picnics, ball games, professional sporting events, front range hikes, movie nights, game nights, steak fries, pancake breakfasts, museum trips, etc. Not "mens events" but "fathers alongside their children events."
- We offer links to other sites identifying fun activities that can be enjoyed by ALL fathers alongside their chldren.
- We offer links to other sites and groups working for re-uniting of both parents with their children following marital failure.
- We encourage ALL of these fathers to become active in their churches or religious communities along side their children.
- We encourage ALL of these fathers to become Godly role models for their children and offer ideas of how to encourage fathers to step up as more effective spiritual leaders of their children and families.
- We offer HOPE to ALL of these families.

Our organization of men and women believe that, in general, the BEST parent is still BOTH Mom AND Dad.
We believe that most often the inclusion of both lines of the family tree is important for the optimal development of children of with intact families but especially for the children of divorce.
Our membership includes married, divorced and never married fathers, grandparents, single men and women, mothers, second wives, step-mothers, extended families, professionals, policy makers, and other individuals and organizations interested in maintaining and strengthening this bond of the child to each parent.
We champion and honor the presence of BOTH mother and father, and both sets of grandparents, in the eyes, and lives, of ALL of their children.
Are we not commanded to "Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother"? Either parent may be denied this honor if their access to their own children is lost. This honor may be forfeited if the access is present but disregarded. May we step forward as spokespersons for children and as the conscience of these parents!
May we have eyes to see, ears to hear, and an obedient heart. Join with us. Today. Please.
