Our Mission

At Big Cypress Refuge, we create environments where men can experience adventure, rest, and honest conversation.

THE NEED

Across every role men hold - as individuals, employees, leaders, husbands, and fathers - men are silently running on empty. When a man is tired, everything connected to him feels the weight.

WHO WE SERVE

At Big Cypress Refuge, we serve men - Leaders, CEOs, Veterans, Pastors, Ministry Leaders, Fathers and Sons - men who carry the weight of performance, pressure, deadlines, and expectations.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

Big Cypress Refuge creates retreats for small groups of men where they can experience personal and deep connection through adventure, rest, and honest conversation.

WHY IT WORKS

We create uncommon adventure, space to disconnect, freedom to be honest, and an environment to reconnect with God.                               

WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

It creates lasting impact, restores exhausted ministry leaders, strengthens marriages and families, and helps fathers connect with their sons.

 A restored man restores his family.

A restored family restores a community.

At Big Cypress Refuge, men come tired and leave alive.

What We Do

 In the summer of 2025, Big Cypress Refuge was officially launched with the goal of carrying on what the "Everglades Camp" has always been - disconnect from the busyness of life and spend time in one of the most pristine and untouched areas Florida has to offer.

    THE NEED

    Men are unwell. The pressure to provide at home, lead at work, and appear strong on the outside leaves them isolated, exhausted, and burning out at unprecedented rates.

    • Men are emotionally tired and spiritually numb
    • Men in the workplace are stretched thin, stressed, and discouraged
    • Men in ministry are pouring out faster than they can be filled
    • Husbands feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and depleted
    • Fathers and sons lack space for true connection and substantive conversation
