Tahoe provides many opportunities, in unique settings that can't otherwise be found. It is designed to help a dad build a strong, long lasting relationship with his daughter, by spending quality one on one time together enjoying activities that help promote communication. In Tahoe Nation, a father and daughter go on a fantastic journey of learning and growing together in a program that encourages fun, understanding, and companionship with each other as well as with other fathers and daughters in the nation. Together our daughters build memories, self-esteem, and develop the foundation for a lifelong healthy relationship.
For fathers, this program offers the chance to bond with your daughter on many levels and build a loving and trusting relationship that will last a lifetime. This special relationship will help both of you during the often troublesome middle and high school years and may even influence important decisions later in life. The program also offers you the opportunity to meet and interact with other dads and their daughters for a truly unique experience.
For daughters, the program offers an opportunity for a wide and diverse circle of friends that often become more like a large family. The older kids usually take on the leadership roles, helping and teaching the younger kids while the younger kids look up to the older kids for guidance like they would a big sister. The program helps the children build self-esteem, develop a strong sense of identity, of belonging, and of personal accomplishment. The kids also get to witness first hand how other fathers and their daughters interact with each other.
Together, you'll see and do things that you otherwise would not not have the opportunity to do such as; camping all over beautiful southern California; canoeing, horseback riding, rock climbing, playing games, singing songs, telling stories, and many, many, more fun activities. Together, you'll also learn many things about California, about nature, about history, about yourselves, but most importantly, about each other as you grow and learn together! Don't miss out on this amazing once in a lifetime opportunity.
