Stand Up’s Father–Son Retreat is a two-night, nature-based experience for boys approaching their B’nei Mitzvah (Year 6 & 7 in 2026) and their fathers or carers, offering guided activities that deepen parent–child connection, explore core Jewish values and social justice, and support boys as they step confidently into their teenage years.

Set in Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, in a beautiful natural environment, the retreat creates space for reflection, bonding, hiking and appreciation of the outdoors, while also empowering parents to reflect on their role and how best to support their son’s growth during this meaningful life stage.
