The Early August Retreat

Held in the heart of late-summer Wyoming, our Early August Retreat invites participants to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect—with the river, the outdoors, and themselves. From August 14th–16th, guests will spend three restorative days along the Snake River in Jackson Hole, surrounded by peak summer landscapes, active wildlife, and long, golden evenings on the water.

This retreat is designed for adults currently or previously affected by a cancer diagnosis, offering a supportive, pressure-free environment where the river sets the pace. Fully guided drift boat trips with experienced local guides provide hands-on fly fishing instruction for all skill levels, while also leaving plenty of space to simply take in the scenery, reflect, or enjoy quiet moments on the water. Whether participants choose to fish every cast or sit back and watch the river bend away into the distance, the experience is theirs to shape.

"The most incredible Non- Profit organization for Cancer victims... This service organization is run by caring young men and women with Big Hearts! I have never experienced anything quite like it.."

Each participant will be provided with their own gear, and instructed by local experts on how to get set up, cast the rod & set a hook – the essentials when learning to fly fish.

Spending A Day Under the Tetons.

Traveling by drift boat with a local guide, participants will take their first trip down the Snake River in groups of two, with one local guide.

River time will be between four and six hours in total, wrapping up the day with another group dinner.

We strongly recommend participants pack accordingly, as the great snake river plain region is notorious for variable weather conditions and dramatic changes in temperature.

The Final Float & Our Goodbyes.

During the final float, participants will spend another four to six hours floating down the Snake River. There will be an option to float the same section or see something new!

The final dinner and closing ceremonies will take place that evening.
