ABOUT THE CAMP
Three days for men who want to regain clarity
Everyday responsibilities, noise and routine often cloud our sense of clarity. We keep doing things, yet something is missing, and sometimes it is hard even to name it. Direction and meaning fade.
Direction needs meaning. Meaning needs clarity. Clarity needs space. These three days provide that space: step out of routine, say what has gone unsaid, see yourself from a new perspective and define your next steps.
For men aged 20 and over
No levels and no prerequisites
An adventure, not a seminar
QUESTIONS
Why?
There are many different whys. Some answers cannot be found in the same surroundings we live in every day.
01
Why do I do what I do?
02
Why can I not get myself together?
03
Why do I get stuck again and again?
04
Why try when results do not follow?
MANHOOD
What does it mean to be a godly man?
Today's culture often sends conflicting messages about manhood. The Bible offers a clear vision, revealed most fully in the life of Jesus.
01
Strong and compassionate
He brings together truth and grace.
02
Courageous and humble
He leads by putting service to others above his own interests.
03
Not seeking comfort
He accepts challenges rather than avoiding them.
04
Brotherhood matters
As iron sharpens iron, one man sharpens another.

WHO LEADS
Men walking the same path

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What to know before you come
Do I need previous DRAFTS experience?
No. The Men camp is separate, for men aged 20 and over, with no levels and no prerequisites. Many come with a friend or a brother.
Do I need to attend church?
Not necessarily. We speak openly about faith because it is at the heart of this camp, but no one is pressured or put in an uncomfortable position. Every year, men who have never attended church come here and return the following year.
How physically demanding will it be?
The tasks take effort, including mud and cold water, but this is not a competition and nobody measures results. Everyone does what they can; no special fitness level is needed. List any health limitations in the application so the instructor can adapt the tasks.
Where do we sleep and eat?
At the Ganības base in Užava. Conditions are simple, we sleep in groups, and there are three meals a day. Bring your own sleeping bag. We send the exact packing list after registration.
What if the fee is a barrier?
We do not want money to be what keeps you from coming to camp. We, the BPI DRAFTS team, have made sure that where it is needed we can support you by covering part of the fee.
