OUR MISSIONPUT ADVENTURE AND LEADERSHIP BACK INTO THE HEARTS OF FATHERS
We reject the passive, distracted, soft version of the modern father. We build men who lead their marriages, inspire their kids, and own their lives.
The Crisis of the Absent Father
Today's man is caught in a trap. He works 60 hours a week to provide for a family he barely knows. He comes home drained, numb, and disappears into a glowing screen.
His wife feels alone. His kids grow up with an empty silhouette of a father. And deep down, he knows he was made for more than comfortable mediocrity.
DADs Movement exists to break that cycle. We strip away the masks through wilderness expeditions, big machines, and real brotherhood.
WHO STARTED THIS
TY CONDIE
FOUNDER & LEAD GUIDE
Ty Condie built Dad's Movement after watching too many good men win at work and lose at home. A father, an outdoorsman, and a lifelong student of what makes men steady, he runs every expedition himself.
His standard is simple. Show up. Do the hard thing. Lead your family. He believes men change through shared adversity, not advice — and he built this brotherhood to prove it.
Every retreat is led by Ty and a hand-picked team of fathers who live the standard year-round.
THE DADs STANDARD
Three commitments we hold every father to.
DISCIPLINED
Own your habits. Run your own life.
Decide what you stand for. Cut the distractions and vices. Get strong, get sharp, and lead yourself before you lead anyone else.
- ◆A personal code you actually live by
- ◆Train your body and clean up your fuel
- ◆Cut the screens, vices, and time-wasters
- ◆Run your money and your time on purpose
ANCHORED
Steady at home. Present with your people.
Be the man your wife can count on and your kids can reach. Build a home that holds together because you hold it together.
- ◆Real connection with your wife
- ◆Undivided attention for your kids
- ◆Rite-of-passage moments that stick
- ◆A family culture you build on purpose
DEFENDERS
Protect your family. Hold the line.
Stand between your family and a culture that quits. Provide, protect, and lead with steady strength when things get hard.
- ◆Provide and protect, no excuses
- ◆Lead when it is easier to check out
- ◆Build wealth that buys your family freedom
- ◆A brotherhood of men who have your back
THE DADs CREED
"I am the protector and provider of my home."
"I will not hand my children to a screen or a culture that quits."
"I will honor my wife with steady strength, full attention, and real presence."
"I will beat back laziness, weakness, and silence."
"I am a father built by brotherhood. My legacy outlives me."
