How are these goals achieved?

Our years of experience have helped us create three pillars that help parents connect with their children.

Learning Together

As we inevitably rise and fall throughout our lives, our experiences create a continuous learning opportunity. No matter how positive or negative the relationship between a father and son is, they continuously learn from one another; shared learning is inevitable.

Serving and Working Together

Service requires us to see the world around us and requires a certain level of empathy and agency. It allows us to know that we can be a meaningful participant in our own lives, and the lives of others.

Adventuring Together

There is nothing more empowering than learning new skills, overcoming challenges, growing in confidence, and reaching one’s full potential. Done together as father and son and sharing in the journey creates an unforgettable connection!

Hear from a few of our campers

Jason

FATHER / SON CAMP AT OAKLEY
“Bridge Camp exceeded my expectations! I assumed I would have fun being in the outdoors with my son but the activities, discussions, and the overall mission of Bridge Camp and the staff truly provided a way for me to connect with my son and others at a deeper level.”
Jared

PARENT / TEEN CAMP AT OAKLEY
“Everyone was AMAZING. Dennis and Whitney made everything so easy to be able to focus on being present but were MUCH more than "helpers". I felt like there actions, comments, and presence added so much to the whole experience. Dave and Dan were great at helping me work through my thoughts, feelings and emotions and I felt very supported throughout. I felt like I wasn't forced to do anything but encouraged to push myself out of my comfort zone. Lastly, Liz was amazing. I think the recreational therapy was the best part of the whole experience.”
Forest

FATHER / SON CAMP AT OAKLEY
“Bridgecamp was truly life-changing for my son and I. It deepened our connection and communication, and we had an incredible amount of fun together. The experience has forever strengthened our relationship for the better. The caring staff, excellent facilities, and delicious food made the camp even more special. We're already looking forward to returning next year!”
