2018 Week 3
I recommend this week for any man wanting to learn the answers to some important questions for their lives and enjoy some great fly-fishing in beautiful Montana.
The five days I experienced at Smiling Moose were something I have never gotten in any other setting, retreat, or camp. It was not about giving vs. more tips & techniques for living life, but it allowed me to be still, hear what God may want to say to me, and recapture my heart for Him.
I am so pissed that it took me so long to attend! I had a couple of breakthroughs that I didn’t see coming. I received some clarity on a couple of matters that I sought. This was an amazing experience. Beyond my wildest imagination.
This week did not disappoint... not even a little. It was so much more than I expected (and I had high expectations and hope). What God did for me this week, and for the other men, is too difficult to put into words… this is a special place, set apart, not doubt, for special things to happen… and they did!
The Wild Adventure experience is impossible to miss for any man who arrives day one and stays the course… it is an experience of authentic awareness of who you are.
A true awakening of myself, through myself. No more running from who I am and who I can be.
This week opened my eyes and my heart to the struggles men face. I can away with an appreciation of how different and how alike all men are.
The Wild Adventure was seriously the most impactful, meaningful and fun week I have been to since I was a teenager. I had been secretly hoping something like this existed plus hoping people like this existed. I am thankful I found it.
I didn’t realize I would have to share my story. That was hard, but so freeing in the process.
What a privilege to hang out with great guys and just be myself! I wish every guy could be on these trips.
Good food, good fishing in Big Sky Country. Be prepared to discover more about yourself in the company of men who will likewise be discovering more about themselves.

The Wild Adventure brought Christ back into my heart.
An amazing gathering of guys all looking for a connection with God and answers to similar problems.
An amazing experience that will make you think, pray and open your heart and get better with God in God’s country.
A time for men to risk connecting with their heart in a safe place – to discover what is there and what is missing and to discover how much God wants to enter and make it whole.
Like a clear spring released from the rocks that hold it, life flowed from sharing and fellowship into the clear light of the Son.
Wonderful time to connect with men who are in spiritual pursuit.
