2024 Trips

It's an incredible week of spiritual growth, world-class fly fishing, five-star eating, and so much more! Man-camp on steroids!

I will spend my lifetime gaining a full understanding of the experience.

A safari of the soul. I truly experienced what it means to be a man. In five days I now know the other men like brothers.

Meaningful, fulfilling week!

Outstanding experience: location, location, location. Disconnect from cellular connection to the world in order to appreciate God's natural world. Superb staff, food and conversation of the big topics.

My best thoughts come together slowly. Speed pressure is not helpful, but…I guess I'd say this has been an excellent break from routine, a chance to ask myself who I am, where I'm going and what God is asking of me.

I was able to connect with myself first and others next, by disconnecting from day to day life and getting back to nature.

Life changing in multiple ways. Amazing.

If you are looking for a life altering "trip with the guys" you'd be missing out if you didn't come on a Wild Adventure!

An experience which will transform your life and just maybe your "fly" technique.

Whether you have one friend or many, are those friends the type that you can share the deepest needs? You can find that type of friend here in these five days.

The Wild Adventure is a time of amazing fishing, food and fellowship while unleashing the souls of men for freedom to live victoriously.

The Wild Adventure is a life-changing experience. A chance for men to come alive. A transformational journey.

Bring back your wild, little boy heart for adventure and make best buddies at the Wild Adventure.

I attended Wild Adventure while going through a difficult time in my life and it was really encouraging and fulfilling to be fly-fishing in amazing scenery along with great company and food.

A true adventure! The Wild Adventure is a place where men come to capture their heart. It has absolutely changed my length and strengthened me to be a better man.

Take a trip outdoors to appreciate God's creation and let him draw your heart closer to him on the inside.

If you are 'sick and tired' of being 'sick and tired', The Wild Adventure will cure your bored life. Ask your wife if she wants you to go! She will! And YOU will not be the same MAN!

Deeply relaxing, spectacular setting – will restore life to your soul. Every man ought to experience this type of adventure at least once in his life.

A great escape with great conversations and great fishing in the great outdoors!

Leave your worries at home while together with men. Seek understanding to your lifelong wounds.

The trip is action packed, hardly a minute you aren't either fishing, eating like a king or growing in your faith. Prepare to be exhausted in a great way.

The Wild Adventure has allowed me to understand the urgency with which I must act to actively develop a much closer relationship with God.

It is rare in today's world to find a place where a man can find restoration of mind and spirit. The Wild Adventure at Smiling Moose Lodge is that place.

My first time at TWA; I got my heart back, thanks be to God. This time I found God is my friend.

A great time to step back and recenter your life in a beautiful setting. A fellowship with men who are experiencing similar things that you can learn from and lean on during and after the trip.

Stunning scenery, great meals, very helpful fishing guides. Overall, I have had a great time at the Moose getting to know a great bunch of guys and discuss God. Jesus has always been a part of my life, starting at an early age. I know Him well. TWA has provided me with a new perspective as to how I can count on Him as my friend.

Just do it. Say YES to one week, that will give you your life back.

If your hesitant, it's not what you think it is. Come to Montana and see God's presence and feel when He wants you. Eat, fish and drink along the way.

One of the most introspective few days of my life. A remarkable opportunity to tune out and tune in at the same time.

The Wild Adventure was an exceptional time to get away and enjoy a throwback mountain lodge experience, while also getting to become friends with all kinds of new people.

Everyone needs time away from stresses of everyday life to reflect on themselves, connect with others and enjoy their life. TWA gives a beautiful venue to unplug and enjoy nature, food and other men and to be encouraged and equipped to return home to make an incredible impact.

Hearing men's unique stories of redemption. The beauty of the place is only exceeded by the beauty of men's stories in Christ. Great food and fishing.

In 5 days, I have developed amazing friendships with 9 men. I am excited to see how God will grow these friendships even more. Brothers in the faith that I can and will continue to share with the depths of my heart.

The Wild Adventure is a great trip. The food, the scenery, the fishing, are all top notch. However, the best part of the trip is the time in study, discussion and listening with the other 9 men.

You'll never have a more meaningful experience with a group of men anywhere and any way else.

The experience brought me closer to a wonderful group of men while also having a fantastic time fishing and fellowshipping. Also, my time here allowed me to work on myself by analyzing my life in Christ -that is, to let the experience continue to impact my relationship with Christ.

Life changing. Will arouse the soul to come alive as a man for God, his wife, family and church.

There is something fishy about The Wild Adventure. There is so much opportunity to enjoy something even bigger than the view.

TWA is a unique opportunity for men to deepen their relationship with other men or the group they came with. Sitting on top of a mountain, near a campfire, our leaders asked each of us to tell our life's story in 30 minutes. This exercise enables other men to look underneath the hood and see what you are about.

This has been the best thing that has ever happened to me so if you can, please come, I promise it will change your life.

I was able to experience new adventures, connect with other men, eat amazing food and hear God speak to me clearly about an area of my heart where he wants to bring me into greater freedom.

I didn't realize how much I needed this! These few days away from the noise, building new friendships has helped me shed stress and burdens a lifetime old, and I physically feel better than I have in years! Literally a weight has been lifted!

Time well spent! Highly recommend TWA to best friends and brothers to attend.

It was very insightful and encouraging to hear the honest life experiences of fellow men.

Great fly fishing. Great food and drink. Great camaraderie. Great experience.

I showed up to Smiling Moose Lodge with zero expectations of finding God again in my life. Well I was wrong!!! My journey is about to start again and the path back to God feels so exciting and I'm ready.

This adventure has touched my soul and heart unexpectedly by digging deep into wounds I have received and I have handed out – drew me closer to God and His will.

This has been a fantastic experience with an incredible group of men, being led by an incredible staff. It has deepened my faith and connection to God.

Time well spent relaxing and meeting new people who become friends. Learning how to open up and learn you're not the only one.

I was able to talk about personal demons that I think about all the time but never feel comfortable saying out loud. And everyone else was able to do the same.

Great brotherhood of men. Meal at Jan's house with fishing on the Madison.

This has been an amazing trip and week. The setting around the firepit allowed me and the guys on my trip to open up and bare their souls like I have never experienced before. It's life changing.

Definitely the best week of my life!

While I was hopeful about what the week would bring, I was skeptical. The outcome exceeded all my expectations. Insightful staff, wonderful colleagues and a joyful spiritual uplift. Just DO IT!!!

Our culture tells men to be tough, suck it up, work hrad and don't complain. God created men to live in a trusted, safe community. Most men have secrets of not being enough that we bury deep inside. This week at the Wild Adventure is a golden opportunity for courageous men to unburden these buried secrets to propel themselves into the freedom and joy of the unique God-given purpose for their lives.

If you are stuck hopelessly on life's treadmill or feel like a prisoner in your own life, then consider TWA. You will be freed from your life of routine and step into an adventure of joy, laughter and deep relationship with other men who are just like you. You will return to your life, free and with renewed strength and heart.

You will have transformed with a renewed intimacy with God. A plan to help restore your heart and gain lifelong friendships that normally take decades to build.

The experience of TWA was life-changing. Where I feel I have gained new insights with my relationship with God. My closeness to my father in Heaven has "leveled up" and I believe through this amazing location and material and leaders, I will be moving even closer to God and what his desires are for my life.

This trip brought me back to God, opened a line of communication that hasn't been used in a long time and helped bring clarity in a time of fog and confusion.

TWA is an experience to remind you or to teach you what a man is meant to be. The fishing is great too! It's also very much about iron sharpening iron.

An opportunity to share life with other men – fun – eat good food – see God's creation.

I've been involved in "men's retreats" for 40+ years, but what happens to men at The Wild Adventure puts every other retreat model I've ever seen to shame. Men want the chance to be men, with men, exploring who they were made to be. This is it!

Discovered the importance of knowing a man's heart and having it lead you to be the warrior and lover that your family and the world desperately needs.

This was a time to get away, hear God, reflect on going forward with God and fun, flyfishing and fellowship. It was a blast!

It's a wonderful, loving environment where men can explore the big questions in their life. Where men share what they've never shared and where the Holy Spirit heals.

TWA is an opportunity for men to be men, among men and experience and explore things that men can be excited about. Stress-free zone in a beautiful setting!

I was nervous about coming to TWA, but I'm leaving with great gratitude and thoroughly enjoyed my time.

Much different than expected. The opening up of our wounds. The community of others. This was something that CANNOT BE found elsewhere.

TWA has connected my group in remarkable ways – no doubt more than we have been in 40 years.

The last best place on Earth is The Smiling Moose lodge in the Madison River Valley, MT. Epic experience.

Good whiskey, cigars and fishing are great, but the opportunity to talk "guy stuff" together is priceless. Thanks for facilitating that experience.

The week was amazing and thought-provoking. Staff and volunteers really pour their heart and soul into making this a fantastic and worthwhile trip and week.

A most wonderful place – the facilities – the setting – the people and the purpose. You will find it to be just one block south of Heaven! Very blessed to have had an opportunity to be here.

You arrive as a stranger and leave being known. The fly-fishing is spectacular but that is a small part of the adventure.

I was invited to TWA. I'm not a fisherman but had a great time learning to fly-fish and caught many fish. The beauty of the ranch and the surroundings are beyond comparison. My relationship with the Lord was challenged and deepened. My goal is to go home - and be a better dad and husband.

The fishing is fun. The camp is gorgeous. The food is great. But, you're coming for the men. And you will leave the men. May it bless you as it blessed me.

It's hard to get away from the intensity of life in our society today – work, activities, even good things – they keep us so busy and distracted. It really helps to get away from it all and listen to the Lord in a place where there's quiet to hear with your ears.

The scenery and wildness exceeded my expectations. The staff and fellowship experience was even better.

The quality of men leading, attending and serving at TWA is unmatched. Additionally, the terrain, fishing, ranch are remarkably beautiful. If you are on the fence about going, don't hesitate, just go!

Simply awesome adventure. Not only a great fishing adventure, but spiritual and creates a great fellowship. Accommodations, the ranch and food…all first class.

Amazing fishing that is just a piece of the life-giving week!

This week is at the top of my bucket list which I only recognized after experiencing it.

Men are constipated, this week is a great laxative. All men want freedom, very few find it.

Great week of truth, love and a time of reflection without electronic distraction.

Creates an environment for fellowship and personal growth that is hard to find, manufacture or replicate.

The Wild Adventure allowed me to hear from God and discover my purpose.

You will find God at the Smiling Moose Lodge and this week is a reset that can change your life.

TWA is a legitimately unique and conducive opportunity for men to speak freely about important life topics that are usually internalized in "regular life."

What an opportunity to spend 5 days in some of the most beautiful scenery in the world connecting with other men to ask some of the biggest questions in life!

TWA gives men the space and context to disconnect from the hurry and worry of daily life and consider the questions that really matter. Doing this with other men provides for a unique opportunity for vulnerability and encouragement.

TWA has provided me with four days to decompress from the pressures of work and the expectations of family. The fellowship with other men has been restorative and the food has been memorable.

Having done what I thought were similar experiences in the past, I thought I knew what I was in for. Ultimately it was so far beyond my expectations in every possible way. I am not the same man I was five days ago.

This experience has exceeded all my expectations. I went in not knowing what to think and with some anxiety and fears of spending 5 days with people I've never met with no access to people I do know. I am leaving with comfort in knowing I have made friends with people I won't forget.

A place and time for men to be vulnerable and not be judged for it.

Peace, clarity, hospitality and a way forward! Won't find better food, people or discussion.

The most unique and impactful experience I have ever been a part of.

Opportunity to escape from the day to day routine that we call life and hangout with real men, talk about the game that we call life and have an unlimited amount of fly fishing.
