RESET · REFLECT · RECONNECT
Father Retreats
Our Father Retreats provide fathers with a dedicated opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and invest in their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Designed to strengthen fathers as individuals, parents, and community leaders, these retreats create a supportive environment where participants can recharge, reflect, and build meaningful relationships with other fathers.
WHY RETREATS MATTER
Room to Reset and Reconnect
Through guided discussions, peer support, leadership development, outdoor recreation, team-building activities, and wellness experiences, fathers develop healthier coping strategies, reduce stress, improve communication, and strengthen their parenting skills. Our retreats promote resilience, emotional wellness, and personal growth while encouraging fathers to return home better equipped to support their children and families.
Honest Conversation
Guided discussions and peer support give fathers space to talk openly, reflect, and work through stress with men who understand.
Brotherhood
Team-building and shared time help fathers build meaningful relationships with other fathers and feel less alone.
Time Outdoors
Hiking, fishing, and outdoor recreation give fathers a break from daily demands and a chance to recharge.
THE 2025 RETREAT
Saugatuck, Michigan
In 2025, The Hurtt Fathers Advocate Corporation hosted a multi-day Father Retreat in Saugatuck, Michigan, where participating fathers received a $50 per hour stipend to remove financial barriers to participation. The retreat included activities such as hiking, fishing, wellness discussions, and leadership exercises designed to improve mental health, reduce isolation, strengthen family relationships, and foster long-term peer support.
OUR BELIEF
Stronger Fathers, Stronger Families
We believe that investing in fathers is an investment in families. When fathers are given the opportunity to heal, grow, and lead with confidence, children benefit, families become stronger, and communities thrive. By prioritizing father engagement, mental wellness, leadership development, and peer support, our Father Retreats help fathers build healthier relationships, improve emotional well-being, and create stronger, more resilient families.
