Registration will open at 7:00 AM (EST) on Monday, March 11th.
Priority for this event is for fathers and sons who have not attended a weekend gathering in the past. If you have already attended a Deerfoot Father/Son weekend you will only be able to register in a standby/ waitlist status. If the event does not sell out we will contact you with additional registration details.
You can register through your CampInTouch account by selecting “adult and family application”. (NOTE: This option will not appear until 7:00 am on 3/11/2024). You can also use the link that will be posted (HERE) at 7:00 am on 3/11/2024.
Eligible registrants must have a son of Deerfoot age (9-16). You do not need to be currently enrolled to attend. If you have other sons, not of Deerfoot age, they are also welcome. Grandfathers, Uncles, or Male Guardians are all welcome. Each family “father” and their sons will be assigned a cabin to share with another father/son group.
The cost for the weekend is $250 per father/son group, $100 for each additional son.
