The 2009 Vision Forum Father and Son
Discipleship Retreat, August 28-31
at the Crooked Creek Ranch

T his year’s Father and Son Discipleship Retreat is being held on August 28-31 at one of the premiere event centers in America — the beautiful Crooked Creek Ranch, situated among 12,000-foot peaks near Winter Park, Colorado. The location is idyllic and serene. The views of the gorgeous mountains and forests and the log construction of the lodges will give you an unmatched Rocky Mountain experience. From challenging messages for the father and son relationship, to outstanding food, quality time together, adventure-filled rope courses and hiking trails, and the ever popular Father & Son Olympics — it’s a time that will always be treasured by all who attend.

Taking on the big ball

Father and son Olympics

Fathers and sons will hear thought-provoking messages from Douglas Phillips and Kevin Swanson which are designed to instill vision, to instruct, and to strengthen the relationship between the father and his son or sons. Historian Bill Potter will be joining us, presenting several stirring war stories and tales of courageous men and boys used by God throughout history. Renowned 1820s’ fur trapper of old, Pierre LeBlanc, will be making a guest appearance, bringing with him some hides and pelts and performing demonstrations of skinning and knife and tomahawk throwing! Last, but not least, a father and son trio, The Wintons, will bring their talent of Gospel Bluegrass music to the event, leading in worship to the glory of God, and good old-fashioned singing fun. (Listen to a sampling of their music!)
