Father Daughter Events (Young Daughters) - Feedback from the Fathers in 2023

I registered for this guided “Fathering Girls” Father and Daughter Camp because I was aware there was only just one vacancy remaining, and we had just had a falling out over mobile phone use.
I viewed this as an investment for our future.
This experience has meant everything to me!
It has helped me to understand how important my daughter is, and now I can work on becoming a king for my princess.
This experience has given me some key realizations, great conversations, a structured program, and some great memories.
The moment I realised that you were actually helping me in my journey as a Dad, was during the Dads session on the first night, when Darren spoke about daughters being princesses in response to “The Little Princess” movie clip and the article he shared, and specifically about the importance of realizing that we Dads / kings have a majestic, glorious, weighty role.
My favourite highlights from this experience were the time of focussed learning & discovery, the bonding, and the impact on my beautiful daughter.
Beyond this experience, life for me will have greater clarity, and I will apply some of the principles I learnt during the weekend.

Rob (Age 51 years) from North Brisbane, QLD.

I am very conservative, and my daughter is very spirited. I felt like she challenges my values, and that there was an early split in our relationship. I could only deal with it by us butting heads – trying to force my view. I was frustrated. There would be frequent escalation, and shouting on my part. I was not the Dad I wanted to be.
My parents divorced, and my father tried to commit suicide, which was very traumatic for me as a 5 year old boy. I am carrying a lot of baggage, and did not want to recreate a similar experience in my own family.
This guided “Fathering Girls” Father and Daughter Camp has resulted in enormous transformation, in me, in my daughter, and in our relationship. I am now experiencing true connection with my daughter that I am not sure I have felt since she was born. No-one had ever taught me how to be a Dad, so, having a guided experience like this was amazing.
My favourite highlight from this experience was affirming my daughter on Saturday night, as we had been coached to do so.
Beyond this experience, my hope is that when we return home, that what we discovered here will be sustained.
And in regards to value-for-money, I always expected that it was top value. Now I see it as priceless.

Darren P (Age 48 years) from Sydney, NSW.

Prior to engaging ‘Fathering Adventures’, I had always wondered if I was doing the best I could (or at least “good enough”) as a Dad, for each of my children.
I registered for this guided “Fathering Girls” Father and Daughter Camp based on encouragement from a friend who I respect greatly, who has taken his daughter on one of your guided “Rite of Passage” Daughter and Father Adventure experience in the past, and vouched for the quality of that experience.
This experience was a wonderful opportunity to spend undistracted time with my daughter, one on one.
What a blessing it was to have an opportunity to share with her what I love about her, what I am proud of her for, and that she is seen by me. Thank you.
There is no rocket science in what happens throughout the weekend, but it is incredibly valuable, simply because it creates a space for vital relationship building, and reminding me of how important I am in my daughter’s life, and in each of our kids’ lives.
My favourite highlight from this experience was getting to speak into, and breathe life into my daughter’s life, and the encouragement I received from that to look for the right moments to continue to do so in the future, and for my other children, and my wife.
Beyond this experience, I will be more intentional in having one on one time with each of my kids, and asking them the 3 intelligence-gathering questions on a semi-regular basis.
In regards to value-for-money, I first thought that it was a pricey experience (although not unreasonably so). Now I see as worth every dollar, and many more.

Chris (Age 45 years) from Brisbane, QLD.

I am separated from my daughters’ mother, so time with my girls is shared. Whilst we have managed to work out a pretty good system, it’s still hard on everyone.
This guided “Fathering Girls” Father and Daughter Camp has been a time of recalibrating, getting intentional, stepping back from all of the changes of life and busyness, and refocussing on my kids, and my role as Dad. The 1 on 1 time was gold. It’s nearly impossible to get so much time free of distractions, work, school, friends etc.
Darren and Melissa, you two are such wonderful souls! I thought it before, and I see it still. There is so much love in this program.
My favourite highlights from this experience was affirming my daughter, after being coached how, and the High Ropes & Zip Line courses were excellent too.
Beyond this experience, I am going to have better connection with both of my kids.

Josh (Age 44 years) from Melbourne, VIC.

Prior to engaging ‘Fathering Adventures’, I didn’t know how to connect to my daughter’s heart at a deeper level. We had a good surface relationship, however now it will be deeper.
I registered for this guided “Fathering Girls” Father and Daughter Camp because my friend and business coach told me about it, and I thought it would be an incredible experience to build our relationship.
There is no instruction manual as a Dad, and now I feel confident, because this experience has helped give me fathering skills.
I also now realize that my wife also needs me to affirm her.
The moment I realized that you were actually helping me in my journey as a Dad, was immediately. I have literally taken pages and pages of notes from revelations I received this weekend.
My favourite highlight from this experience was my daughter’s unwavering affection toward me, and our connection after I affirmed her on Saturday evening. She absolutely loved it, and thanked me on a deep level. So very special! It melted my heart.
Now that I understand just how important my role is in my daughter’s life, and my wife’s life too, beyond this experience I will be less selfish with the time I spend with them.
The value-for-money of this experience has been incredible, and the experience itself has been invaluable.
