"...each of you will remember this experience for the rest of your life.
It has the capacity to guide you & your son in new ways that will transform future generations."

Stand FIRM is a 4 day Father* & Son Rites of Passage adventure designed to equip you and your son through that process. 

​*or father figure/mentor​
You will join with a  small company of fathers and their sons in a comfortable camp environment in beautiful Far North Queensland. Whilst enjoying a range of adventure activities together, you will explore topics of manhood, identity and purpose. You and your son will be invited to consider and set a clear vision of the kind of men you'd like to develop into. 

​No particular experience in the activities is required as you will receive training, support, equipment and guiding from qualified and experienced staff. 
Stand FIRM culminates in a return ceremony as fathers* and sons are welcomed back by family and friends at the end of their adventure together.
Stronger Family Relationships...
Who's it for? Fathers with sons who are already on their journey to manhood and want to mark this moment with a significant shared experience. They will be willing to take on some challenges, have some great fun together, and discuss significant topics in the fellowship of other like-minded men. 
Ideally it follows the Stand UP program, but is equally valuable for those engaging with Stand for the first time.
