Late August Retreat

As summer begins its slow turn toward fall, our Late August Retreat offers a quieter, deeply grounding experience on the water. Taking place August 28th–30th, this retreat invites participants to spend three immersive days along the Snake River in Jackson Hole, where cooler mornings, softer light, and steady river flows create an ideal setting for reflection and restoration.

Designed for adults currently or previously affected by a cancer diagnosis, the retreat centers on freedom and choice. Fully guided drift boat floats provide fly fishing instruction for beginners and seasoned anglers alike, while leaving space to pause, observe wildlife, share conversation, or simply sit with the rhythm of the river. There is no pressure to perform—participants are encouraged to experience the river in whatever way feels most meaningful to them.

"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.
