I got the name from a friend who had wanted to teach young men to the manly things and to learn to do things every guy should know. So I wanted to create an enviorment to challenge young men spiritually and physically. I know the teenage years are very impactful in a young men and a camp is something we remember for a very long time. I still remember going to a camp when I was 16 and coming to a realization that I needed to decide what side of the fence I was going to be on. For God or for myself and when I saw other young men wanting to have a close relationship with Christ it made me want to have my own personal relationship with God and not just because of my parents. From that point in my life I have had the opportunity to invest in the lives of many other young men. I am reminded of 2 Timothy 3 where it talks about how in the last days people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, without self-control, and ultimately lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. We are in those last days, and I want to challenge young men to seek Christ first before what sports games or movies we watch, what video games we play, or what status we hold in life. I want to see men living actively according to God’s Word instead of what will entertain them next.
