What to expect

About the Weekend

Set in the mountains above San Diego at Legacy Ranch — the home of Boys To Men San Diego — this four-day experience immerses fathers and sons in Boys To Men Mentoring tools and processes that build a bridge for generational understanding and healing.
 
Fathers engage in the Reclaiming Your Teenage Fire mentor training experience — reconnecting with their own teenage selves to become better listeners and meet their sons where they are.
 
Sons participate in the Adventure Weekend (formerly Rite of Passage Weekend or ROPAW), a guided passage into manhood. All sessions are led by a team of the most experienced Boys To Men Mentoring leaders from across the country.

Creating the next chapter

Boys To Men University changes everything

Boys To Men Mentoring has 30 years of proven methodology.

Boys To Men University captures it—how to train mentors, how to launch centers, how to sustain the work—and makes it available to every Boys To Men community across the country as a single point of truth.

Before the pandemic, BTM USA operated 32 centers. Today we have 13. Boys To Men University is the infrastructure that rebuilds and sustains the network—ensuring that what works in San Diego, Virginia, and Hawaii can take root anywhere boys need it.

Your registration for this weekend is a direct investment in that future.

Ask the boys!

Why Attend A Boys To Men Adventure Weekend?

We asked four Boys To Men Journeyman why they came, what they learned, and what they want everyone to know about Boys To Men Mentoring.

After months—and often years—of participating in our weekly mentoring circles, these young men have courageously shared their struggles, limiting beliefs, past traumas, and life challenges. Through the support of their peers and mentors, they have begun making new choices and taking meaningful steps toward creating positive change in their lives.

The young men you are about to meet were then invited to participate in a Boys To Men Adventure Weekend (formerly known as a “ROPAW” or Rite Of Passage Adventure Weekend)—a powerful, immersive experience designed to challenge, inspire, and transform.

This video showcases just a few of the outcomes achieved by young men who fully engage in the wide range of programs and experiences offered by Boys to Men Communities across the country.
