About
IT ALL STARTED WHEN...
Dr. Moorhead grew up on a farm in Northwest Pennsylvania spending more time outside than in. Attending church every Sunday was standard (unless the fish were really hitting.) He may have missed many more Sunday services if Pennsylvania permitted hunting on Sundays. In 1988 while at Ft. Benning, GA for basic training for the Army National Guard he realized God wanted more than his Sunday attendance and accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. His passion for the Lord grew along with a passion for strong men and strong families combined with a desire to use his passion for the outdoors to help men and future men grow in their own passions..
OUR MISSION & VISION
Family Retreat Adventures' desire is to help husbands and fathers achieve - or create - their vision of being close to their family while pursuing intimacy with Christ and passing their faith onto the next generation. For a man being in the wilderness away from technology and the normal responsibilities allows him to unwind and have time and space to listen to the Father's voice. They can take some time to look back and better understand how they got here and look ahead creating a path and process to achieve the desires of your heart in the future. Your guide Dr. Moorhead is excited to journey with you!
