TRIBUTE TO PURDY

HISTORY

SLIPPERY CUP

Mancation started in 2006. The coveted Slippery Cup is one of the most elusive prizes to be earned!

Mancation kicked off in 2006 with the idea of getting a group of guys together every year and having a great time celebrating being men! 


This meant to us as much fun as we could have in a long weekend! All the meats we could eat, kegs we could drink and as many fun events as we could cram into 3-days! 


Over the years this has included rope swings, football on the beach, volleyball, golfing, white water rafting, cards, jet skiing, video game binging, wake boarding, water skiing and anything else we could work in for a long weekend. 

ADVENTURES

As the years have gone on we've had many adventures together. New guys cirque in and out but there has always been a core group of 10  that have spanned years together and Mancations in Washington, Oregon and California. 


From 60 foot houseboats with multiple wakeboard boats in tow and  with as many as 17 guys in Kettle Falls, WA, or golfing in Sunriver, Oregon or jet skiing in the Pacific Ocean in Newport Beach, California each time we've gotten together has been epic!

This year Captain Troy has booked the ultimate whitewater trip down the Rogue River in Oregon.

Sharing Stories

Over the past 13 years we've had incredible highs and lows that have all been a part of what Mancation is about. Being able to as a group of men endure everything from having fun as friends to grieving the loss of our friends.


Through this 13 years we've lost two of the cornerstone members of this fraternity. This year we will use our adventure to remember Dave Purdy the greatest friend and a true Mancathalete!


ROGUE-13 is our adventure in honor of those who we wish were with us on this trip!

ROGUE-13

13 YEARS OF MANCATION ADVENTURES STARTED IN 2006 WHEN TROY DECIDED HE JUST WANTED TO GET ALL OF HIS BUDDIES TOGETHER FOR ONE WEEKEND AND HANGOUT HAVING SOME OF THE SICKEST ADVENTURES IMAGINABLE! 


THIS YEAR'S MANCATION HAS CULMINATED INTO A 3-DAY WHITE WATER ADVENTURE DOWN THE ROGUE RIVER!  OUR COMING TOGETHER THIS YEAR MARKS THE 13 YEARS THAT OUR GROUP OF GUYS (A LOT OF US WHO NEVER KNEW EACH OTHER PRIOR TO MANCATION) ARE ONCE AGAIN SPENDING PART OF OUR SUMMER HANGING OUT WITH EACH OTHER CREATING CRAZY MEMORIES. 


TROY IS THE ONE COMMON LINK BETWEEN ALL OF US AND HE'S ALWAYS BEEN A TRUE CAPTAIN OF THESE GREAT TIMES! THROUGH THIS ONE COMMON REAL LIFE CONNECTION AND ADVENTURE SERIES TROY CREATED AND CONTINUED WE'VE ALL BECOME BETTER FATHERS, HUSBANDS, FRIENDS AND HUMANS!
