Children come first
f3TCh focuses on fathers because children deserve meaningful time, love, guidance, and connection with Dad.
As the ripples from our canoes reach the shore...
Helping children rebuild and fortify strong loving bonds with their father.
Fathers matter. Relationships matter. The time children share with Dad can become memories that last a lifetime.
Some fathers and children come to rebuild connection. Others come to protect and strengthen a bond already strong. Camp f3TCh creates room for both.
Relationships come first
The relationship is the reason.
Children deserve meaningful time, love, guidance, and connection with their father.
Mothers and other caregivers carry essential roles in children's lives. Supporting the father-child bond does not diminish those roles; it gives one important relationship the focused time it deserves.
Camping and canoeing create the opportunity. Fathers and children do the important work by spending time together, trying something new, talking, laughing, and making stories that belong to them.

What guides us
Simple principles. A lasting purpose.
Fathers meet us where they are
Some come to rebuild. Others come to strengthen an already loving bond. Camp is not built around shame or a perfect-father test.
Activities serve relationships
The canoe trip, meal, or campfire creates the opportunity. Time together, trust, and shared memories are what matter.
Finances should not be the barrier
Camp f3TCh has historically remained free for participating families. Donors, sponsors, and volunteers make that access possible.
Our home and future
Building a place where relationships can keep growing.
The f3TCh property in East Tennessee gives the mission a permanent home. Thoughtful improvements can make Camp safer, more accessible, and better prepared to serve fathers and children.
The planned Green Bridge Pavilion would provide a dependable place for shared meals, conversation, instruction, and gathering when weather makes an open campsite difficult.
