FATHER-SON WEEKEND
MEN OF STEEL
As summer begins to close and school doors start to open, we invite fathers and sons to start the school year with a memory that will meld their relationship for years to come. Join us in Black Mountain, NC for a fun-filled weekend of games, challenges, and fun surprises. Here's a short list of what's on the agenda: rocket launching, dodge ball, archery, climbing wall, swimming, s'mores, flag-football, 50-ft challenge courses, and some unique experiences we’d rather keep within the “Man Code.”

We have attended Men of Steel for the last five years. My son says it is his favorite event of the year. This weekend will be a time my Son and I will always talk about in the future.
