 Our wilderness/wellness retreats are designed to provide an invigorating break from the illnesses, medical procedures, and/or challenges they have battled, instill an appreciation of nature, and inspire the pursuit of an active and healthy outdoor lifestyle.

Our wilderness/wellness retreats provide a healthy surrounding in which Participants (and a parent/guardian) are introduced to the fundamentals of various outdoor activities, with an emphasis on fly fishing. Our retreats also include an informal educational component intended to cultivate a commitment to environmental protection and stewardship.
