Trailblazers Father-Son Club

The Trailblazers Father-Son Club is open to fathers and their sons in 1st through 4th grades.  The goal of Trailblazers is to help fathers raise their sons as men of character. Through regular meetings, Trailblazers provides a forum to teach boys the virtues and how to live them habitually in their daily lives.  Boys learn to respect others, to be patient, to start and finish tasks, and to be generous with those in need.  In addition, Trailblazers fosters conversations between fathers and sons about deeper topics, including the virtues and how specifically the boys can grow in them. The club also presents opportunities for fathers and sons to spend time together in fun, competitive activities. 

 There is a wide variety of activities, including…

1) competitive games

2) physical challenges

3) “how to” lessons

4) sports

5) introductions to potential hobbies

Who can attend?

Fathers and their 1st - 4th grade sons.
