About the Event

Please join us August 10-13 for the 2007 Father and Son Retreat in Colorado. This retreat will once again be held at the beautiful Crooked Creek Ranch, situated among 12,000-13,000-foot peaks near Winter Park, Colorado. The views of the gorgeous mountains and forests and the log construction of the lodges will give you an unmatched Rocky Mountain experience.


Fathers and sons will hear thought-provoking messages that are designed to instill vision, to instruct, and to strengthen the relationship between the father and his son or sons. (Malachi 4:4-6)

Along with the edifying messages, the fathers and sons will participate in organized outdoor activities, and will have free time to walk the hiking trails together and enjoy the excellent facilities which include an outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, indoor full court basketball, Indoor volleyball court, 18 hole Frisbee golf course, ropes course, a lake which includes a Blob, outdoor full court basketball, an unbelievably stocked snack bar, and a game room with pool tables, ping pong, air hockey and foosball.

Comments from past Father and Son Retreats

What a blessing this retreat is. I would like to encourage every father to make the time, regardless of the sacrifice, to come to one. Vision Forum is giving my son and me a New Vision for our future. In addition, to helping me as the father of my family focus on what the Bible says about raising up a family that will be pleasing to the Lord. —Bill (Illinois)

The Lord has given me a vision to return home and lead my family in the way of the Lord, and to do whatever it takes to get it right for God. I have four sons and two daughters, and I believe that the Lord has raised me up to end a multigenerational curse on my side of the family, a curse of unbelief and godlessness. Thank you for your encouragement this weekend. Vision Forum has been another messenger of the Lord in confirming God’s plan for my family. —Bob (Maryland)

I was really blessed to be able to spend this weekend with both my son and my dad. I learned for the first time of the multi-generational legacy of Christian fathers that preceded me. I have been able to see my father in a whole new light. His honor and sense of duty and dedication has revealed to me and I now have an increased feeling of the responsibility that I have to maintain this legacy. —Wayne (Michigan)
