SHERPA AND FRONTIERS ARE CANCELED TODAY
Register for Frontiers Register for Sherpa
Payment for Frontiers Payment for Sherpa
The Frontiers Club (for boys in grades 1-4) and the Sherpa Club (for boys in grades 5-7) help fathers raise their sons as Christian men of character with virtues including self-restraint, fairness, and toughness.
Each club meeting includes
- A brief talk for fathers and sons together on some aspect of character.
- An activity for the boys while their fathers discuss educating their sons in virtue.
- An activity for boys and their fathers together. For Sherpa, a 60-minute session devoted to building and flying a remote controlled quadcopter drone (all components supplied)
- A snack.
- A priest is available for confession throughout the afternoon.
The clubs offer fathers the opportunity to spend meaningful time with their sons and serve as a springboard for talking with them about their goals and the character traits they will need to achieve them. Club activities also help families befriend other families who are trying to raise their sons as exemplary Christians.
The schedules of the meetings are structured to permit fathers to attend both clubs with their sons.
Further information can be found in the Frontiers Club brochure and the Sherpa Club brochure.
