The Foundry

A Rite of Passage Forged in Fire

The Foundry is a 5-day off-grid father & son camp for young men and their mentors — led by combat veterans, grounded in service, and shaped by the land.

We aim to remind these young men they are the rising generation, and we aim to teach them how to rise.

fathers, sons, faith, & fun

Challenge, clarity, confidence — a rite of passage for the next generation, run by men who've carried real weight and know what it takes to put it down.

Status: Planning and building phase. First Foundry experience targeted for spring 2026 — no promises on exact dates yet. Get in touch to learn more.
