Forged Together
A father & son tactical experience. One day. Four stages. A bond that lasts a lifetime.
About the Event
On August 15, 2026, Mill Pine is hosting Forged Together, a full-day, one-of-a-kind tactical experience built exclusively for fathers and their sons. Under the direct instruction of Navy SEAL cadre, you and your son move side by side through four high-intensity stages: long-range marksmanship, vehicle rollover and contact drills, land navigation and survival, and hands-on self-defense blending Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. This is real training, run by the people who have actually done it. It is scaled so any father-son team can take it on together.
The day opens with a performance mindset brief from Dr. Milt Lowder, a sport psychologist and AMPLOS consultant who has worked with Clemson University athletics. A mission brief from your SEAL cadre follows. From the first minute, you and your son are treated as one team with one objective: finish every stage together.
This is not a spectator event. It is not a summer camp. You work shoulder to shoulder under real pressure, communicate when it counts, and push through challenges side by side. What you walk away with is confidence, trust, and a shared experience you cannot get anywhere else. It lasts long after the day is over.
Age Requirement: This event is open to sons ages 13 and up. All participants under 18 must be accompanied by their father or a designated adult guardian for the full duration of the event.
Stage 01 // Sniper Stage: Precision Under Pressure
Instruction from Navy SEAL snipers. Father-son teams work the glass and the gun together under live pressure. Building composure, communication, and precision.
Stage 02 // Vehicle Rollover: Contact Drills Under Fire
Simulate a vehicle rollover in a high-threat environment. Learn emergency egress, then immediately lay down return fire. Father and son eliminate the threat and take the position together.
Stage 03 // Land Navigation & Survival Skills
Map and compass navigation across the Mill Pine property, with field-expedient survival skill stations along the route: fire-making, water filtration, and shelter building.
Stage 04 // Self-Defense: Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai Striking
Foundational self-defense combining Jiu Jitsu ground control and Muay Thai striking. Father-son pairs drill together, building physical confidence, mutual trust.
