The Boychild Crisis · Why Enrol Your Son Now?
Why Enrol Your Son Now?
Boyhood does not pause while a family decides when the time is right. Whether you are raising your son in Uganda, elsewhere in Africa, or in the diaspora, here is why families like yours are enrolling now rather than waiting.
You know exactly what your son is up against.
The pressures of peer influence, unemployment anxiety, and a culture that often confuses manhood with money or bravado are real, and close. Boys to Men gives your son a safe, structured space with mentors who understand this context because they live in it too.
What you get: a local, accessible programme, transparent costs, mentors you can meet and trust, and a follow-up relationship that continues long after camp ends.
Give your son the home he only half remembers.
Raising a son abroad often means raising him without the extended family, culture, and rites of passage that shaped his father or grandfather. Boys to Men gives your son a genuine, structured reconnection to Uganda and to men actively invested in who he becomes.
Built for your timing: the Boys to Men Summer Camp runs 8 days every July in Kampala, timed to school summer breaks, for USD 300. A UGX equivalent can be arranged on request at the time of payment. The next Summer Camp runs July 7–16, 2027.
You are already doing the hardest job alone. This part, you do not have to.
Raising a son without a present father figure does not mean he goes without positive male mentorship, it means finding it deliberately. Boys to Men exists to be exactly that: vetted, consistent, trustworthy male mentors.
What you get: full transparency on who mentors your son, a safe and structured environment, and an ongoing relationship. This applies whether you are based in Uganda, elsewhere in Africa, or in the diaspora.
Waiting rarely makes it easier.
Every intake fills up. If your son fits the age range and the timing works, the honest advice is to apply now rather than wait for a more convenient season.
