Christ in the Smokies is honored to have been included in Covenant Eyes’ campaign for men called Frontline21.

"A Frontline21 Man is not simply born; he’s forged. While the current age drifts and compromises, he’s anchored and defies. He rejects weakness and mediocrity. Like the Greatest Generation of the 20th century, he stands unapologetically on his values and unchanging truth in a time of radical change.”

Frontline21 encouraged fathers to attend our Passage to Manhood camp as a great next step in their journey as men. Check out what they had to say:

"Ready to take the next step? Join other fathers on the Frontline21 journey at Christ in the Smokies. It's more than an event—it's a time to recharge your faith, renew your mission, and strengthen your resolve to lead boldly at home and in the world."

Frontline21 offers a free field manual to help men grow in their strength and conviction. Visit their website at frontline21.com to download the manual.

Jorg is most fathers, isn't he? Trying to offer his son what he never had. As the Father has done for us in offering ALL so that we might enter into relationship with Him. We were honored to provide a space for Jorg at Passage to Manhood camp to focus on what really matters with his son. We'd love to provide a space for you, too, at our next Passage to Manhood camp!

Happy Easter!

Today, we remember that Jesus chose death on the cross so we could be made right with God. That reconciliation is why we call this Good Friday.

Through God's strength, we can also be reconciled with one another. No matter where you are in your relationship with your father or son, Christ in the Smokies Passage to Manhood camp meets you there.

We'd love to have you at our next camp, June 21-25, in the North Georgia Mountains. Visit christinthesmokies.org/camps to learn more and register. Money an issue? We've got you covered. Visit taylorstricklandlegacy.org for information about camp scholarships.

Passage to Manhood camp is for fathers and sons, but it's also a *camp for fathers* and a *camp for sons.* The understanding and camaraderie fathers feel as they share their challenges and struggles with other fathers is matched only by the bonding and brotherhood the sons experience together at camp.
