Devils Den State Park

The Devil’s Den Expedition: A Father-Son Journey into the Wild

Prepare to step into the ancient, oak-hickory forests and dramatic sandstone bluffs of Devil’s Den State Park! Tucked deep into the rugged Lee Creek Valley, this legend-rich landscape is our battleground for a powerhouse father-son weekend. From conquering the high ridges to gathering around the crackling fire, this trip is engineered to strip away daily distractions, test our grit, and build an unshakable foundation for the next generation of godly men.

Zero Gear? Zero Excuses. Don’t let a lack of camping gear hold you back—we have you fully covered. We’re removing every barrier so you and your son can focus on what matters most: connecting with each other, testing your limits, and stepping under the stars.

The Adventure Awaits

• The Ascent: Push your physical limits and conquer the mountain together on rugged, high-vantage hiking trails that overlook the vast Ozark wilderness.

• The Singletrack: Fire up the pedals for optional mountain biking, taking on fast Ozark dirt, creek crossings, and technical rock gardens.

• The Hunt: Track through the timber to seek out and discover the hidden Cairn Garden, a monument of stone hidden deep in the park.

• The Line: Cast your line into the cool, winding waters of Lee Creek and Lee Creek Lake for classic river fishing.

• The Feast & Friendly Rivalry: Fuel the journey with top-tier, griddle-top cooked meals made for hungry woodsmen, paired with friendly competitions designed to bring out everyone’s competitive edge.

The Mission & Capstone Ceremony

When the sun goes down, the real work begins. Gathered around the campfire, we’ll dive into high-impact, biblically themed teaching focused on Christ and True Masculinity—unpacking what it means to lead with strength, humility, and conviction.

To crown the weekend, Sand to Stone will continue its hallmark tradition with an intentional Rite of Passage ceremony. In a world that often forgets to honor the transition into manhood, we will stand together as fathers and brothers in Christ to call our sons up, mark the pathway to biblical manhood, and speak lasting identity over the next generation.
