RITE OF PASSAGE
THE GREATEST GIFT
A FATHER CAN GIVE HIS SON IS A PATHWAY INTO MANHOOD.
NOT MONEY. NOT STUFF. A PATH. A MOMENT. A VOICE.
THE PROBLEM
HERE’S THE TRUTH: MOST MEN GROW OLD BUT NEVER TRULY GROW UP.
LEFT ALONE, BOYS CHASE DANGER, POWER, OR CHEAP LOVE—DESPERATE TO PROVE THEY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES. MANHOOD WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE STUMBLED INTO. IT WAS MEANT TO BE BESTOWED.

STORIES FROM FATHERS & MENTORS
THE FATHER’S INHERITANCE
THESE ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF A MAN’S LIFE. THEY AREN’T DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT. THEY’RE PASSED DOWN— SPOKEN, MODELED, AND GIVEN FROM FATHERS TO SONS.
WHEN FATHERS STEP UP,
SONS STOP GUESSING WHO THEY ARE. THEY KNOW.
THE BRAVECO RITE OF PASSAGE
WE BUILT SOMETHING UNFORGETTABLE—A WEEKEND THAT CHANGES FATHERS AND SONS.
IN 30 HOURS YOU AND YOUR SON WILL:
- WATCH A WILD HORSE BROKEN IN FRONT OF YOU—AN UNFORGETTABLE PICTURE OF STRENGTH AND SURRENDER.
- TAKE ON TEAM CHALLENGES THAT DEMAND GRIT, COURAGE, AND BROTHERHOOD.
- RUN A SPARTAN OBSTACLE COURSE THAT PUSHES BOYS BEYOND WHAT THEY THOUGHT POSSIBLE.
- END IN A SACRED BLESSING CEREMONY WHERE FATHERS SPEAK THE WORDS EVERY SON LONGS TO HEAR: “YOU ARE A MAN.”
THIS ISN’T A RETREAT. IT’S NOT A CONFERENCE.
IT’S A RITE OF PASSAGE.
