GET READY
Why are we here?
Camp CAACONAA has 3 purposes.
1. TO HAVE FUN
CAACONAA stands for Come As A Child Or Not At All. We want you to shed your Daditude for a little while and just be a kid alongside your child. So get ready to play. Cell phones, laptops, gameboys, and other distractions should be left at home. Forget about work. You and your kid are here to have fun.
2. TO MAKE A MEMORY
We each have memories from our childhood that seem like they happened yesterday. Many of those helped determine our direction in life. We hope your time at Camp CAACONAA will help to create one of those memories for your child.
3. TO CONNECT
Camp CAACONAA is designed to give you opportunities to connect deeply with your child. Purposeful one-on-one time will build a strong and lasting bond between you and your child.
What should I expect?
CONNECTING WITH YOUR CHILD IS EASY. JUST DO IT ON PURPOSE.
The activities and events here at Camp CAACONAA have been purposefully chosen to help build your relationship with your child. If you will purposefully aim your attention on your child, and away from any distractions, you will grow closer to him/her. Avoid huddling with the other dads while the kids run off and play. This time is about you and your kid. Don't miss the opportunity to bond deeply.
