Men’s Wilderness Retreat

The first day begins with orientation and getting to know your leaders and team members at the SROM headquarters in Laramie, WY. We'll then issue any needed gear and food for the course. You'll eat a quick lunch at the building before driving about an hour west of Laramie to the Snowy Range Mountains.

Once you arrive at the Snowy Range, you'll backpack in about 1 mile to where you will set up basecamp with your team. Here you will start your time in community, learning to exercise trust and vulnerability.

Each day will have a spiritual theme with community time in the evenings that often includes worship, teaching and discussion.

A Typical Day:
(times are estimates and will vary)

• 6:00 AM – Breakfast: cook breakfast with your cook group
• 8:30 AM – Gear packed for the day.
• Noon – Lunch: Eat while on the trail
• 3:30 PM – Head back to base camp
• 4:00 PM – Time Alone with God (TAG), typically 1hr, and/or teaching.
• 5:00 PM – Dinner: Make dinner with your cook group
• 7:00 PM – Family Time – debrief day, worship, and devotional/teaching
• 9:00 PM – Bedtime

Upon returning to the SROM base, you’ll return any group or rented gear, followed by a shower and a debrief with one of our staff. To officially close the course, you'll receive a completion certificate. Many teams then choose to celebrate with dinner at a local restaurant*.
