Dad Camp survey
The Fatherhood Institute is planning to run a series
of holiday opportunities for dads, stepdads, granddads, uncles,
foster fathers etc and their children next summer – called Dad
Camp.
What is Dad Camp?
Dad Camp is a holiday where dads and other male carers will have
the opportunity to take their children on an organised camping trip
alongside other dads, while mum stays at home.
As well as having a great time and treasured memories, the
impact on children will be long lasting. Research shows that
fathers’ positive engagement with their children benefits them in
all sorts of ways - including doing better at school.
Accommodation will be in tents and we will provide trained
instructors to run a mixture of adventure activities, including
things like canoeing, trekking, campfires and star-gazing.
Dad Camps will be organised according to the ages of the
children coming on the camp. For every four paying families
attending Dad Camp we will be able to provide a free Dad Camp for
one low-income family.
Help design Dad Camp
To help the Fatherhood Institute make Dad Camp a success, they
need to find out what dads and mums think of the idea. So, if you
have children aged 18 or under, please fill in this Dad Camp
survey, it should only take a couple of minutes.
And if you know any other dads (and mums) – either through work
or in a personal capacity – please ask them to fill in the survey
too. Just pass them this web link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DadcampsurveyFI
