This Father & Son Weekend is a space for fathers and sons to show up as they are\, build a deeper bond\, and share honest moments that actually matter. Through connection\, play\, and real conversation\, you won’t just spend time together—you’ll strengthen a relationship that lasts a lifetime.\n \n\n\n\n Father-Son weekend has been a cherished tradition I’ve gotten to share with my 3 boys. They talk about it all year long as a time they look forward to. The time we get to play and connect with each other and other Fathers and Sons is a special tradition that I know will have a lasting impact on our relationships for our whole lives.\n \n— Drew Bales \n \n\n\n The Father and Son Weekend has had a HUGE impact on our family. We’ll always be grateful to the many men who help continue this important tradition.\n \n— Nathan Wright \n \n \n\n\nDate: June 12th – 14th \nLocation: East Troy\, WI \nFor more information\, contact Erik Treese: \nEmail: etreese@gmail.com \nPhone: (773) 936-3745 \n \n \n\n\n I want to share an amazing opportunity to bond\, stretch\, create and have fun with your sons of all ages. This father-son weekend incorporates the heart and energy of our MKP community and makes it accessible to our sons in a fun-filled setting. Over three years I’ve attended this father-son weekend with all three of my boys and even my own father. It’s made a lasting impression on them. They still speak about it joyfully as it’s part of our family history. Erik Treese\, one of our Co-leaders from the Chicago area and Chris Jaffe have carried this tradition forward with dedication for years now\, honing all the details for a powerful experience. I’m sure they would be happy to answer any questions. Feel free to reach out to me as well!\n \n— Zeb Ramsey\, MKP Mid Atlantic URL:https://cmcmenswork.org/event/father-son-weekend/ LOCATION:East Troy\, WI\, East Troy\, WI\, 53120\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260712T093000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260712T110000 DTSTAMP:20260728T194723 CREATED:20260709T182203Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260709T182653Z UID:18666-1783848600-1783854000@cmcmenswork.org SUMMARY:Elder's gathering  DESCRIPTION:ELDER’S GATHERING\nSunday July 12th\n9:30 am – 11:00 am on Zoom\nOpen to all men 50 and up interested in being part of the Chicago Elder Community.\n\n\nCurrent Zoom Link:\n\nhttps://mkpusa.zoom.us/j/87810986334?pwd=embCDsCmUz2PYZ9fK7cnO8yuzwGo85.1\n\n\nJOIN NOW\n\n\nMeeting ID: 878 1098 6334\nPasscode: 657869\n\n\n\nSunday’s Topic:\nRecall a favorite summer trip or vacation.\n\nIf you are interested in joining the Chicago Elder Community\, contact:\nLew Caliento\n\nlew.caliento@gmail.com\n\nDavid Moravec\, Communication Coordinator\nMKP USA Chicago Region URL:https://cmcmenswork.org/event/elders-gathering/ LOCATION:Zoom / Online END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261009 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261012 DTSTAMP:20260728T194723 CREATED:20260602T220710Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260602T221234Z UID:18655-1791504000-1791763199@cmcmenswork.org SUMMARY:Monday GUTS Workshop and October Training DESCRIPTION:Take GUTS from a WORKSHOP to a TRAINING!OCTOBER 9 – 11 AT CAMP BETZ\n\n\nGUTS \nTRAINING \n\nWITH DR.
