How TYRVING Works:

Pete -

“TYRVING is a truly outstanding program. The curriculum and programming has been very well thought out, with many different ways to plug in to a community of parents in a way that purposefully helps you and your child grow into a healthier place during the middle school years. Given our current cultural environment, I feel very fortunate to have found such a program. I am certain the learnings and experiences will provide a resilient mindset for my son in the years to come.”

Jim -

“My son and I were interested in finding activities that we could do together, be outside, build our peer group (both father and son), and just spend time together. We came across TYRVING and thought it met all of these criteria. After participating in the group for almost the full year, I am so happy that we signed up. We have done so many fun activities that pushed our limits, built relationships, and strengthened our interactions. The fathers have been so supportive and encouraging and the boys have welcomed our son into the group.”

T.J. -

“TYRVING provides an opportunity for a father and son to connect in an intentional manner. Activities are planned purposefully, providing both father and son to step out of their comfort zones. TYRVING has given me more time to develop a deeper bond with my son and has created space for us to have intentional conversations. I would highly recommend TYRVING to anyone looking to create a stronger bond with their son.”

“Invest in what matters...
when it matters.”

Participating in TYRVING allows parents and adults to take advantage of the ‘well-being window’ - a key period of development during the transition between childhood and adolescence. Investing in the cultivation of healthy relationships and habits now can have many long-term social and mental-health benefits.

With programming that is family, time, and budget-friendly, TYRVING’s complete rite of passage program curates an experience that will deepen your connection with each other and create enduring life-lessons and memories.

Take part in a
once in a lifetime
experience with your child.

“The magic of a rite of passage is that it can be a bridge from one stage of development to another, marked by an initiation into a new way of being.”
