SMALL BATCH, TRAJECTORY CHANGING ADVENTURES FOR DADS & SONS
manmaker EXPERIENCES
boys are born.
men are made.
A boy cannot become a man on his own. He needs guides—fathers, mentors, men who will call him forward. As Chris Bruno writes in Man Maker Project, every man is formed in the crucible of story and shaped through initiation. A son stepping toward manhood longs for the strength, wisdom, and presence of his father to show him the way. It is not enough to simply hope he figures it out; he must be invited, challenged, and blessed into his identity as a man.
Man Maker Experiences are designed for exactly this journey. These intentional spaces allow you to step in as guide, to call out courage, to name identity, and to offer your blessing. Through adventure, shared struggle, and meaningful conversations, your son experiences what only his father can give: the assurance that he belongs, that he has what it takes, and that he is not alone. Each of these experiences is an opportunity to walk with your son on the path of becoming, where your strength and your presence help shape him into the man he was made to be.
