This 4-meeting Mission Guide walks leaders step-by-step through engaging gatherings that blend:

• Relationship-building between dads/mentors and boys
• Hands-on skill experiences through projects and demonstrations
• Spiritual development through Scripture, discussion, and shared learning
• Games, stories, and meaningful conversations that connect faith to everyday life

Extra Ideas + Leader Helps

The guide also includes optional extra meeting activity suggestions.

     • Plan a group field trip to a local park that has a living museum with local reptiles and amphibians.  Local zoos and/or aquariums also often have reptile and amphibian exhibits.
     • Take a family hike on rainy nights to look for amphibians - head lamps are very helpful tools
     • Check out library books about reptiles and amphibians to read together
     • Start a “photo” collection of pictures you capture of reptiles and amphibians. Put them in your field journal you have created with information about when, where, and other interesting things about your sightings
     • Go for a slow backroad evening car ride on a warm summer. Reptiles such as snakes can often be seen crossing the road as they hunt.

Tree Climbers Guild is a ready-to-use, high-energy resource that helps your ministry build strong boys, confident dads, and a community of men pursuing service and faith together.
