What Is Instant Thunder™?
Modern life feels like it’s moving at a thousand miles an hour.
For boys aged 13-16, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life is immense.
For busy Dads, it’s not so easy to simply escape the responsibility and hustle-bustle of daily life. It’s even more difficult to get one-on-one time with your son in the most important period of his life.
Meet Instant Thunder™ – a transformational father and son experience.
Instant Thunder™ is not a traditional camp experience and no walk in the park.
It’s a series of activities designed so Dads and sons can build a deeper connection, get out of their comfort zones and learn to walk taller in life.
