Father Son Wilderness Program

Fatherhood. What a journey.

When was the last time you stripped away all the distractions, and just connected with your son(s) and what is most important in life in the simplest way possible?

When was the last time you slowed down, really slowed down, and just connected with nature, on nature's terms?

Imagine taking five days with your son(s), and connecting deeply with nature and your boy(s) through ancestral wilderness survival skills, all within a small "tribe" of other fathers & sons that are like minded with similar values.

**NOTE: This is a special, invitation only, customized program initiated by Tim Corcoran and Ben Greenfield. It is only open to MMT members and friends of Ben Greenfield who receive a direct invitation.

Since the dawn of time, fathers and sons have bonded deeply in and with the wilderness. Ancestral wilderness skills have an innate ability to deepen the Father Son connection like nothing else. During this VIP Father Son Wilderness Program, we'll make fire by friction, build and sleep in natural shelters, learn traditional hunting and gathering techniques, and track wild animals. Primitive wilderness survival isn't a "Man vs. Wild" scenario, it is an opportunity to build a deep relationship with the Earth. As you and your son do so, you'll find that your relationship with your son deepens in powerful ways.

We'll have facilitated, open heart Father Son relationship deepening time, and of course opportunities to connect with the other fathers and sons present. Just as our earth based ancestors did, we'll utilize traditional earth based spiritual practices to help facilitate the connection, and have surprise elements too. We're looking for fathers and sons who are ready to open their bodies, minds, and hearts to a deeper connection, have epic fun, and take the time to connect with what matters most.

Father Son Wilderness Program
My sons and I attended the father son wilderness survival course at Twin Eagles, and it was an absolutely epic and life-changing experience. I cannot recommend Tim and his staff more highly. They are loving, trustworthy, knowledgeable and fun-loving folks who know how to give you the ultimate combination of mindfulness, nature and practical survival tactics. Add this to your bucket list!”

Accommodations

This VIP Father Son Wilderness Program will be held at Medicine Circle Eco-Retreat Center, located about two hours north of Spokane, Washington. We are blessed with access to 5 acres of private land adjacent to thousands of acres of national forest. This area includes diverse woodlands, fields and access to the Quartz Creek including beaver ponds, and lush meadows. You'll stay in traditional tipis or yurts, and we utilize the on-site simple outdoor kitchen, solar shower house, and outhouses.

Tech-Free

One of the many gifts you'll receive here is a Tech-free experience. No smartphones, computers or other digital distractions are allowed at this program. Just high quality time connecting with your son, the other families, and the natural world. We have no wifi, no cell service, and no power on-site, so please take this into consideration.

Each family is responsible for all travel to and from our program location. Carpooling is encouraged, and we're happy to help coordinate by sharing contact information of interested families. The closest airport is Spokane, Washington (GEG) where rental cars are available. It is about a two hour drive from the Spokane airport to our program location.

An Edge Experience

This VIP Father Son Wilderness Program can be an edge experience for some people. We will be outside the entire time, rain or shine. Depending on the weather, you and your sons may face rain and cold temperatures. One night you will build and sleep in primitive shelters away from main camp. It's not for the faint of heart. This is an experience that will ask for courage from both you and your son(s). We're looking for fathers and sons who can hold a positive attitude in potentially tough experiences, who are ready to find value in facing challenge, and who want a real adventure.
