25.01.2022 Tomorrow we commence our third Adventure experience for the month since covid-19 interrupted things... our September 26-30, 2020 "Prepared for Manhood" 4 Night Father-Son Adventure experience at Mission Beach, in Tropical North QLD. Whilst we've had to limit our guests to Queenslanders for the time being, and we've had to cap our numbers at just 20, there's no doubting that this experience is going to... be an adventure of a lifetime for these father-son pairs... leave them with relationships that are thriving... leave them with healthy identities... and leave them with clear direction for the rest of their lives, as men. We're all really looking forward to this... for so many reasons.

25.01.2022 Happy Mothers Day to every Mother around the world, who takes their ever-changing role as Mother, so very seriously. Motherhood is so much more than biology... it's a calling... to be loving, nurturing, merciful, compassionate, sacrificial, and life-giving. We at 'Fathering Adventures' recognize, value, acknowldege, honour, and praise your essential and invaluable contribution to your children, to your family, and to our world... today, and every day. #MothersDay #Mothers

24.01.2022 "The most precious hour of my day was at 8pm!" (Martina) If you missed your opportunity to join our webinar live last Thursday evening, then you can receive free access to the replay at our website, here.

24.01.2022 What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family. - Mother Teresa Today is "International Day of Families", and also the start on "National Families Week" here in Australia. And so rightfully so, we acknowledge, honour, and celebrate "family".... As Mother Teresa alluded to... We all want to make a significant contribution to our world. And we can absolutely do so by making a significant contribution to those within our very family. #InternationalDayOfFamilies #NationalFamilyWeek

22.01.2022 This is a selection of photos from our recent September 26-30, 2020 "Prepared for Manhood" 4 Night Father-Son Adventure experience in the Mission Beach region of Tropical North QLD, for sons aged 13 years & over - no maximum age limit, and their Dad, or father-figure. Again, courtesy of State border closures due to covid-19, we were only able to guide and serve QLD families, and these 9 father-son pairs were some of our favourites. One thing is for sure, our State, and our Na...tion, looks brighter now than it once did, with 9 boys becoming young men throughout this process... each now having a clear & compelling vision for authentic manhood, and each experiencing a specific moment to mark the significant milestone of being initiated as a young man. Stay tuned tomorrow morning to watch a short 1 minute video of the outdoor adventure component of this experience then.

20.01.2022 "Why Teens Push Away Their Parents"... https://youtu.be/faboBwnxa70 . It's good to be reminded of the reason why we are parents. It's not about us. It's all about our children flying... becoming who they were always meant to be, and them living their life to the full in that space. It's a privilege for us parents to play our parts in them discovering their true identity, and ultimate destiny.... It truly is a great adventure. #ParentingTeens #ParentsOfTeens See more

20.01.2022 This selection of photos is from our recent September 19-23, 2020 "Prepared for Womanhood" 4 Night Father-Daughter Adventure experience on Magnetic Island, in Tropical North QLD, for daughters aged 13 years & over - no maximum age limit, and their Dad or father-figure. Due to State border closures, courtesy of covid-19, we were only able to host QLD families this year, so only 6 Father-Daughter pairs were able to join us. That said, it was so worth it. What a wonderful group of fathers and daughters they were.

18.01.2022 For everyone’s good, we have been required to stay home, indoors, in relative isolation, which lead to boredom, frustration, or a combination of the two. Now that restrictions are finally being eased, it’s time for each of us to unplug from our devices, and get outdoors, as ‘Fathering Adventures’ is once again open for business. Rediscover and experience freedom, adventure, joy, new life, more life, and begin to truly thrive, as individuals, in your relationships, and as a family, by registering now at https://FatheringAdventures.com.au , for one of our upcoming uniquely-crafted Father-Son or Father-Daughter Adventure experiences.

17.01.2022 Today we commence our September 19-23, 2020 "Prepared for Womanhood" 4 Night Father-Daughter Adventure experience on Magnetic Island, with daughters ranging between the ages of 13 and 24 years, and their Dads too of course. Unfortunately due to QLD's State border closures, we had to fully refund all of our interstate guests, however for six (6) QLD father-daughter pairs from as far South as Brisbane and as far North as Cairns, this experience is going to be an adventure of a lifetime, that's going to leave them with relationships that are truly thriving, and clear direction for their futures. Bring it on!! P.S. With 3 of our Adventure experiences back-to-back-to-back this month, you'll have to wait until next month before we are able to post photos from each of the Adventure experiences from this month.

16.01.2022 Another of our prized partners / commercially-professionally guided & outfitted outdoor adventure activity providers is Mission Beach Dive at Mission Beach, between Townsville & Cairns, in Tropical North QLD. Owned & operated by the charismatic, servant-hearted Nancy Lowe, Mission Beach Dive is a highly personalised outer-Great Barrier Reef snorkelling & scuba diving experience, unlike the large reef operators you'll find in Cairns, Port Douglas, & Airlie Beach. Again, Missio...n Beach Dive's Reef trips are the best we've ever ever participated in. Due to the excellent sheltering of Eddy Reef, we've never had one of our reef trips cancelled by Mission Beach Dive. And the BBQ Lunch prepared on board, c/w fresh, locally caught prawns, is to die for. If you want to see the outer Great Barrier Reef, Mission Beach Dive should be your reef operator of choice. We highly recommend them, and we look forward to partnering with them again this September, for our upcoming September 26-30, 2020 "Prepared for Manhood" 4 Night Father-Son Adventure experience. Thank you Nancy, Cat, Nigel, Darrel, and the rest of the Mission Beach Dive crew for the excellence you offer in everything you do. See you again soon! See more

15.01.2022 Here is a sampling of photos from our recent November 6-8, 2020 "Fathering Boys" Father-Son Adventure Weekend experience at Mapleton, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, S-E QLD. Again, what a privilege and pleasure it was to guide and serve this group of fathers and sons.

14.01.2022 An Adventure that will never be forgotten by this group of fathers and sons in Tropical North QLD, in September 2021. In an effort to keep the video short (just 1 minute in duration)... it contains only the outdoor adventure component of the overall experience.

12.01.2022 "There comes a time in every rightly-constructed boy's life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure." - Mark Twain Today is "International Boys Day", and as such, we acknowledge and celebrate boys specifically. Whilst boys and girls are equally valuable, important, and wonderful, boys are very different to girls, in almost every way, and so again, today we celebrate just how different boys are from girls. #InternationalBoysDay #CelebratingBoys

11.01.2022 For the first time since covid-19 struck, our team will head out to facilitate one of our Adventure experiences to help fathers and their children have thriving relationships, and have clear direction for their future. This one is a "Fathering Girls" Father-Daughter Adventure Weekend experience at Tamborine Mountain this weekend, for daughters aged 8-13 years. We have been itching to get back out there and guide and serve families in these fun and significant ways. Due to QLD's State borders remaining closed, we had to full refund all of our guests who had previously registered from VIC and NSW, however we still have 15 father-daughter pairs joining us from all over QLD. So bring it on!

11.01.2022 We can all learn a great deal about ourselves (if we are willing of course), and others, during a crisis. "Crises reveal character", and therefore are an opportunity to see how our character may have grown since the last crisis we experienced. I encourage you to look at this diagram. If the world recognizes you as an adult, and your responses to covid-19 best align with the thought & behavior descriptions listed in the outer circle (the lightest blue of the 3 zones), then you... are a person of integrity, what we refer to as an authentic adult. If your reactions to covid-19 however best align with the thought & behavior descriptions listed in the inner circle (the darkest blue of the 3 zones), then we refer to that as conventional adulthood (sadly)... a child in an adult's body. And if your reactions to covid-19 best aligns with the thought & behavior descriptions listed in the middle circle (the mid-blue of the 3 zones), then you're no longer a child in an adult's body, however there is still some work required in the development of your character. And of course as parents, we can and should use any opportunity we can, to help guide our teenage & older children from reacting like young children, to responding like authentic adults. May none of us waste this opportunity. See more

09.01.2022 Who else is keen? We're really looking forward to returning to Magnetic Island to facilitate one of our "Prepared for Womanhood" 4 Night Father-Daughter Adventure experiences, and one of our "Fathering Boys" Father-Son, and one of our "Fathering Girls" Father-Daughter Adventure Weekend experiences there soon! Who else is keen to join us for a Father-Son and or a Father-Daughter Adventure experience on Magnetic Island as soon as we are permitted to?... #FatheringAdventures #MagneticIsland See more

09.01.2022 Thank you Bradley Hackfath, for taking the time to clearly articulate what our involvement in your fathering journey has meant to you... " I thoroughly recommend Fathering Adventures for a fun time of adventure, relationship building and one on one time with your son or daughter. Having completed 3 trips and a 4th to come shortly I recommend them ALL. I've completed the Father/Daughter weekend in the Brindabella ranges, Father/Son Far North QLD and also Father/Daughter Magnet...ic Island.(each with a different son or daughter) Every trip provides an opportunity to intentionally and exclusively spend time together with your son/daughter and each trip has a component built in to help them develop during their transition from child to adolescent or from young person toward adulthood. Importantly Darren gently guides and encourages all the dads every step of the way so Fear Not! A very powerful relationship building tool and FUN time TOGETHER with other Father/Son or Father/Daughter couples most probably discovering/exploring somewhere or doing some activity you have never done together before. (Guides and safety gear all included everywhere) Don't think about it too much just book in and do it. Don't miss the chance it may not come your way again in a hurry. Remember dads, LOVE to your son or daughter is actually spelt TIME. Do it, you won't be sorry! " We've loved guiding and serving you and your children over a number of years now, and we look forward to doing so again soon. See more

09.01.2022 Our hearts go out to all of our Victorian friends, past participants, partners, and all Victorians for that matter, as you endure the next 6 weeks of Stage 4 lockdown due to covid-19. We look forward to the day when we can return to Victoria, and you can travel to us again. Please stay healthy and safe, and we'll see you again on the other side of all of this.

07.01.2022 Tomorrow we'll commence our November 6-8, 2020 "Fathering Boys" Father-Son Adventure Weekend experience at Mapleton, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, S-E QLD. We'll have 16 father-son pairs from throughout S-E QLD who'll be joining us for that one, and everyone has been really looking forward to it for quite some time. And we look forward to helping each of those fathers, and their relationships with their sons, thrive.

04.01.2022 Fathers are so much more important than the overwhelming majority of us have been led to believe! To all of those Dads and father figures, who "father" their biological children and or others well, throughout all of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Papua New Guinea, the 'Fathering Adventures' team would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy Fathers Day today. Thank you for the difference each of you is making, in the life of those children, and in our societ...y as a whole. We honour you today! #HappyFathersDay2020 #FathersDay2020

03.01.2022 This week we'll be highlighting a couple of our prized partners / commercially-professionally guided & outfitted outdoor adventure activity providers. We're going to start with Magnetic Jet Ski Tours on Magnetic Island, off the coast of Townsville, in Tropical North QLD. Owned & operated by Peter & Sharon Smith, a beautiful married couple, this personalised guided jet ski tour is the best of any jet ski tour we've ever participated in, as it's both fun and educational, not to... mention the absolutely stunning backdrop of Magnetic Island. During the tour, Peter will stop and speak a little about the local marine life, the geology of the island, and of course always be on the lookout for excellent photo opportunities for you to then download your photos after the tour. We highly recommend them, and we look forward to partnering with them again this September, for our upcoming September 19-23, 2020 "Prepared for Womanhood" 4 Night Father-Daughter Adventure experience. Thank you Peter and Sharon for the excellence you offer in everything you do. See you again soon! See more
