As seen on “Michigan Out of Doors”
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.
FREE All costs and expenses associated with the Retreat, including lodging accommodations, all meals, snacks, a Michigan fishing license, use of all fishing gear, and a whole lot of fun are provided ENTIRELY FREE to all Youth Participants and their respective Parents/Guardians.
NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED Be assured that no fishing experience is required! All you need to have is a desire to venture into the wilderness, soak up the visual splendor of the majestic Manistee National Forest, breath in that glorious pine scented air of up-north Michigan’s majestic back-country, and experience the therapeutic power of stepping into a picturesque trout stream.
