Human Development Retreats

fallsMany of our guests comment about the "spiritual awakening" and clarity of thought they feel while in the Yellowstone backcountry. This makes our backcountry pack trips the perfect environment for you to hold a retreat.

Partnering with Gary Matthews, a mental health counselor and change management consultant, Wilderness Pack Trips offers custom retreats integrated with our existing backcountry pack trips. Types of retreats available include:

Strategic Planning Retreats

Developing a strategic plan requires time and focus from key organizational leaders. In the "human world", opportunities to isolate and focus these leaders can be nonexistent. Interruptions and distractions guarantee failure in the strategic planning process. In the "real world" of the Yellowstone backcountry, interruptions and distractions do not exist. We are continually amazed at how well the Yellowstone backcountry facilitates consensus-building, negotiation, and problem solving.

Based upon information you provide about your organization, we will develop a custom program designed to help you develop your strategic plan development. We will facilitate you strategic planning process.

To schedule a strategic planning retreat, choose a backcountry trip or contact us to develop a custom trip. Reservations for strategic planning retreats must be made at least one month in advance. In addition to our trip fees, we charge an upfront fee of $1,000 for program development and $900 per day for facilitation and support.

Relationship Healing Retreats

There are many who provide relationship healing retreats, but none in a place that compares in beauty and inspiration like Yellowstone National Park. Whether you are working through relationship issues, developing a new relationship, our retreats encourage meaningful and long-lasting change. We offer two types of relationship healing retreats using either a group or a private approach. In a group relationship healing retreat, you will share your struggles and feedback with other couples who possess similar goals. These retreats are more open in format and rely heavily on the group therapy process where couples provide emotional support and feedback to one another. We provide standard educational and experiential interventions as well as group and individual counseling support. In a private relationship healing retreat, we will develop a custom program based upon your relationship issues and goals. We will provide individual, couples counseling, and relationship-building activities.
