PATRONS SUMMIT.

Our first Kinsmen: Patrons Summit will be held on Thursday, May 16th atop Table Rock Lake at the stunning Top of the Rock property at Big Cedar Lodge, in Branson, MO.

This boutique gathering of like-minded men will be a nearly day-long immersive experience centered on the themes of Faith, Fatherhood, and Work. We’ve curated some of the foremost thought-leaders and practitioners in these spheres of culture, and they’ll be with us to impart wisdom, knowledge, truth and inspiration.

Throughout the day, we’ll be utilizing various locations across the Top of the Rock property, including the Buffalo Bar and Patio, Chapel, Club House / Billiards Room, and End of the Trail Wine Cellar.
