Emil Harker is a licensed marriage and family therapist, author of two books, and an experienced relationship and business coach.
He has spent his career helping people create stronger marriages, improve communication, and develop more fulfilling lives.
At Man Camp, Emil brings that experience into an unforgettable environment where men can have real conversations, challenge their thinking, gain perspective, and discover practical ways to improve their lives.
No lectures from a stage. No pretending to have everything figured out.
Just great men, meaningful conversations, and practical tools for becoming better.
A personal invitation from Emil
Strangers on Wednesday.
Brothers by Saturday.
Something remarkable happens when good men get together, drop their guard, and have honest conversations about what really matters.
They discover they're not alone.
They laugh. They learn. They challenge each other. They offer encouragement and perspective.
And somewhere between the waves, the meals, and the conversations, strangers become friends.
Friends become brothers.
These are the relationships that make Man Camp unforgettable.
Don't just take
our word for it.
“Man Camp helped me realize that my feelings of being unsuccessful came from my tendency to compare myself to uber-successful people.
The perspectives of the men in my group helped me realize that I'd already reached my own definition of success.
I also came home with clear ideas to do the little things that I know my wife would love.
She can't wait to send me to Man Camp again because she always sees the improvement.”— Ernie, Man Camp 2026 Participant
“I was long overdue for some self reflection and evaluation. Like most men, I get so caught up in my day-to-day responsibilities that I don’t take the time to make sure I’m balanced and managing all areas appropriately. My goal for a weekly self evaluation will keep me from falling into that trap.”— Todd, Man Camp 2026 Participant
