Kodiak Father-Son Club
Kodiak Father-Son Club is a Calgary-based group of fathers and their sons (Grades 1-8). Our goal is to provide boys with the opportunities to learn to overcome difficulties, stick to a task until it it is finished, respect others, and aspire to higher ideals. We meet around Calgary for monthly sports-related and other challenging activities.
