For the majority of human history, a father was the main role model for his son.

Today 43% of boys are raised by single moms and 78% of teachers are female. The blurring of gender lines, the cultural labeling of masculinity as "toxic", and the watering down or extinction of programs that train and equip boys to become men have left boys fearful and floundering as they seek to define what it means to be a man. A recent survey shows only 36% of parents believe churches are serving their sons well.

Trail Life is where boys thrive!

A Christ-Centered, Boy-Focused, Church-Based mentoring and discipleship journey that speaks to the heart of a boy, Trail Life is established on timeless values derived from the Bible and set in the context of outdoor adventure. Boys from Kindergarten through 12th grade are engaged in a Troop setting by male mentors where they are challenged to grow in character, understand their purpose, serve their community, and develop practical leadership skills to carry out the mission for which they were created.

I love what Trail Life is doing! When you spend three days with a guy camping... that is how we learn who each other are. Churches need to realize this is how men do relationship.
