Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. (Proverbs22:6)

Spring Canyon’s Father / Teen Adventure is specifically designed for fathers to build, repair or re-establish solid, Biblical relationships with their teenage children. There are outdoor activities during the days with morning devotions and evening instruction periods for scriptural lessons. A dynamic curriculum taught by a mature Christian adult engages the teens as well as fathers, and is specifically designed to promote discussion and reflection. Activities include team building, rock climbing and rappelling, ATV riding, white-water rafting, hot springs, and an overnight campout/cookout*. The adventure atmosphere provides a unique setting for a spiritual connection, and memories that will last a lifetime.

… Enjoy God’s living room

While at Spring Canyon, you’ll stay at Camp Buxton – a tent base camp in beautiful scenery located a few minutes walk from our main lodge. Large, metal-frame tents serve as sleeping quarters and a fire pit radiates warmth for fellowship on cool mountain nights – it’s the perfect setting to experience some of the best of God’s creation! And don’t worry, it also features a fully equipped bathhouse with facilities for men and women, and limited laundry facilities, too. On the overnight campout, you’ll stay warm and dry in our all-season backpacking tents and cold-weather sleeping bags – or bring your own gear if you prefer….

Spring Canyon is owned by Officers’ Christian Fellowship, a non-profit ministry to the U.S. military society, and operates year round as a Christian camp and conference center. While many of the fathers have a military affiliation, this is not a qualification to participate. Father / Teen Adventure is open to anyone desiring to strengthen the bond between father and teen.
