Summer 2008 Mother and Daughter Retreats are now registering!

This summer Becknology is offering mother and daughter retreats. We will be camping out and climbing at Red River Gorge in the beautiful Natural Bridge State Park located about an hour east of Lexington, Kentucky within the Daniel Boone National Forest.

This program is designed to give moms and daughters a chance to get away from normal routine and out into nature. The weekend will be a peaceful getaway and a time of spiritual refreshment. We'll enjoy scenic nature trails, campfires, waterfalls, and of course rock climbing. The time we spend climbing together will help to build trust between mothers and daughters and will draw them closer together as they depend on one another.

Q: What does Becknology provide?

A: We will provide a small daypack and all climbing gear. We will also provide all your food except for dinner on the second night. Tents are available for rent.
