Fathers forging their sons into great saints.
Knights of Light is a summer program where dads and sons train side by side: archery, a dragon-slaying lesson, games and time together, on a seven-year journey through the 7 Deadly Dragons.
What is it?
A summer group for dads and sons
Knights of Light helps fathers raise their boys to fight the battle that matters most. Each summer, father and son face one of the seven deadly dragons together, and grow in the virtue that slays it.
Boys begin around ages 7 to 9 and continue all the way through 8th grade.
Boys rise in rank each year, battling a new dragon of sin and growing in virtue.
Every boy is accompanied by his dad or a male mentor at every session.
Every session includes
Train together. Slay dragons together.
