SUMMARY:Father-Son Appalachian Trail Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Dear Dad\, \nThe Father-Son Appalachian Trail Adventure is a 4-day backpacking trip across one of the most stunning sections of the Appalachian Trail\, the Roan Highlands of northeast Tennessee. And\, while we will be hiking during the heat of the summer\, you can expect to experience cool temperatures on this mile-high ramble!  The purpose of this trek is not to see how fast we can go but how deep we can go\, so most days are fairly short in distance but long in meaningful experiences.  During our time together you will not only strengthen your outdoor skills and nature knowledge but you will also be challenged to go deeper with God\, yourself\, and others.  Plus you will have a special bonding experience with your son(s) that will last a life-time.  Be prepared to be stretched in every way… but we’ll have fun doing it! \nOVERVIEW\nWHEN: June 23-26\, 2022 \nWHO:  Fathers and their sons (ages 7+) \nWHAT:  Backpacking\, nature study\, outdoor leadership\, walking with God \nWHERE:  Roan Mountain\, Cherokee National Forest\, TN \nPROVIDED:  Trip leadership\, naturalist education\, spiritual guidance\, etc. \nBRING:  You are responsible for your own camping equipment \nCOST:   $100 per father-son. \nSIGN-UP DEADLINE: June 16\, 2022 \nITINERARY\nThu\, June 23 – Drive to Carvers Gap and hike to Roan High Knob \nFri\, June 24 – Roan High Knob to Overmountain Shelter (7.1 miles) \nSat\, June 25 – Overmountain Shelter to Doll Flats (6.2 miles) \nSun\, June 26 – Doll Flats to Hwy 19E  Mountain Harbor (3 miles) \nLEADERSHIP\n \nMarty Miller\, Trip Leader                           \nMarty is gifted at discovering and sharing spiritual lessons from nature\, God’s second book\, as modeled by Jesus Christ\, the master educator.  He is an experienced outdoorsman with skills and certifications that include WMI/NOLS Wilderness First Responder\, ACA Swift Water Rescue\, and AIARE Avalanche Safety. Through outdoor retreats\, small group support\, leadership training\, and curriculum development\, Marty is helping men to step up and become the men God intended them to be\, better husbands\, better fathers\, and better disciples of Christ! \n“Leader of the Day” \nDuring the trek each “father-family team” will have an opportunity to provide leadership for the entire group in what we call “Leader of the Day”.  During your leadership day you will guide and manage the group as pertaining to safety\, schedule\, teaching\, devotionals\, etc. Oversight will be provided by the trip leader\, Marty Miller\, but just enough to ensure that our objectives are met. \nWe all need to become better leaders.  And\, as fathers\, when we grow\, our children grow!  By intentionally engaging our children in the decision making and leadership opportunities on this trip they grow with us! \n\nFor more information download the INFO PACKET. \n\nINFO PACKET\n\nTo register and join the group click on all the buttons below to pay\, complete forms\, and join our group communication.   If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out. \n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\nREQUIRED FORMS\n\nGROUP COMMUNICATION\n\nSee you on the trail!\n
