Yes — bring your sons! We recommend ages 10 and up. The Gorge is entirely outdoors, and long summer days can be a lot for younger kids. You know your boy best, so we'll leave the call to you, Dad.
This is a men's conference — built for the guys. For the women in your life, Pastor Josh's wife has resources coming their way, and a livestream of the main sessions will be available. Livestream details will be announced at strongermannation.com.
