This is my third time and each time has been better that the past. This also means I read the book "Wild At Heart" three times and each time have gotten something new each time. The time of sharing life stories in a real and open way is so encouraging and impacting on my life I want others to experience it as well.

I thought this trip would be about fly fishing and out door adventure.  It had plenty of that.  But, it opened up an adventure I was not prepared for.  It was the adventure of exploring my soul as a man.  Now that is a great adventure.

2019 Week 8

While I knew I was coming to fly fish in Montana, I also knew there was way more at The Wild Adventure.  I leave a man who has regained my faith at a level that is unmeasurable.  And to say I'm going to be a better man, father and husband may be the greatest understatement of my life.

Ryan W
 

Even for the 2nd time around, this week has been an amazing time of reflection, brotherhood, fun time and connection with God.  I enjoyed an amazing experience three years ago and I just had another week with deeper and yet different experience and take always.

You will have the opportunity to shape an extraordinary experience with a group of men in one of the most beautiful settings in the world.  A place where your voice can be heard.

Harvey R
 

The Wild Adventure is an experience like none I've ever participated in before.  The scenery and fishing were amazing, but paled in comparison to the bond that was developed with a band of brothers that are warriors for Christ.  We have all been wounded, but at the Smiling Moose Ranch we came to heal and grow closer to God!

Kevin C
 

A worthwhile week invested in connecting with amazing people.  We fished, we learned from each other and we grew together.

N.B.
 

I really enjoyed connecting with the men who came.  I have deeper understanding of each of their hearts.  I feel the Lord’s presence here.

Never really believed that this type of experience existed... raw and real.

Vulnerability is not easy.  However, it is an absolute necessity for healthy success and, when don, you come out a stronger person on the other side.  A stronger back – a softer front – and a wild heart that integrates the two.  I have made some significant decisions, relationally, by being in touch with God at a deeper level.

Mick U
 

This has been one of the most epic weeks of my life.  I’ve been awakened a fresh to what really matters in life.

Ken C
 

Five days off the grid, so that I could do a high-value assessment to make sure that I am on the bubble, surrounded with a dozen guys who are serious about the right stuff (and sharing some great laughs and adventures) is a gift that keeps on giving.  I’ve never found this dynamic anywhere else!

Bob S
 

Wild Adventure is a place to go deep into your life story, engaging your soul and feeling your heart.  This is done by engaging with other men’s stories and connecting with their soul.  Nothing is more powerful than men being authentic together, talking truth into our lives, and encouraging each other to engage in the battle for our lives.

Carl L
 

This week has been a great opportunity to meet with and learn from other men.  Hearing from and being heard by other men has been life changing for me and a time of healing.

Myron B
 

What an impactful experience!  To spend time in God’s creation and beauty is one thing.  To do it by getting real, realizing you are not alone, takes it to a whole new level.  The fly fishing was just what I needed each day to bring is full circle.

Brad H
 

A new depth experience personally, socially, faithfully, and certainly from a fly fishing perspective.  Life lessons, cleaning, sharing and fun guaranteed to open your heart and change your life.
