Choose Your Adventure
All of our retreats are full of adventure, discovery, and rest. There is plenty of free time for naps, fellowship, and adventure.
The adventure component of the retreat consists of sporting clay contests, experiential target shooting sessions with rifles and handguns, fishing, expedition hikes, mountain biking and lounging by the pool (seasonal).
THE WAY
Are you living FOR your identity or FROM your identity?
After hosting over 30 retreats, these last 6 years, around the United States and abroad, we have developed a proven process that speaks to any man, no matter where he is on his journey of faith. This retreat called “The Way,” helps men identify the broken areas in their hearts, that need healing, while exposing the emotionally destructive behaviors that cause them to react or retreat into self.
You’re invited on a journey into your heart. Our expedition leader for this retreat is our Lord Jesus Christ.
You will enter into various periods of solitude over the course of this experience. As men of faith, we MUST, experience the transformative process of solitude, if we are to change and grow into the sons we are called to be. Prepare to work and prepare to receive the transformative gifts that come from stepping away, as Jesus often did. God is calling us to grow as men and to discover the unknown strongholds in our hearts while stepping into the seemingly treacherous space of vulnerability, to confess the truth and be set free.
We will investigate the various masks we wear and more importantly, why we need to wear them. After the initial excavation period, we will take the things we have been shown, to the Father, and experience the truth of sonship, by taking time to sit in His lap and receive His gift of love. This gift helps us change as husbands, fathers, and sons.
Are you aware of how you speak to yourself? Are you kind, loving, and gentle? Are you doubtful, arrogant, or condemning? With the nose of the world, it is hard to even answer those questions.
Sanctification is a process and if we are honest, we often run from it. We fill our day with the chaos of hurry while leaning into self sufficiency, only to find ourselves exhausted and lonely. The world is built to trap us into this posture and that is WHY it is crucial to step away.
Our weekend retreats are focused on soul care. We believe it is imperative for men to step away from the distractions of this world to spend time in relationship with our Heavenly Father. Too often we try to fit God into our daily routine. We check the box with a devotional or say a quick prayer, but are we giving Him a chance to respond? We believe a true relationship flows two ways. If we are to experience the intimacy of relationship with God, we must pray and make room to hear. True North is a ministry created to provide that space.
We unplug with purpose.

Father/Son Retreats
We are in the process of developing a weekend centered around fathers with sons between the ages of 10 to 15. This curriculum will be centered around honest conversations and fun experiential activities.
For fathers with adult sons we recommend signing up together for either the Awakening or Restore Retreat. We have witnessed numerous father son relationships deepen and grow during those programs.
Please call or email the Executive Director with any questions.
Wild at Heart Basic
We are honored to partner with the Wild at Heart team as one of their trusted allies to offer John Eldredge’s Basic Bootcamp. This retreat will be facilitated by our team at True North and all the sessions are led by John and his team from Wild at Heart through the most recently recorded videos.
This curriculum is where God moved and called me to start True North Retreats. Jesus opened doors in my heart that I did not know existed and He revealed the deep scar tissue within my soul. We then began this beautiful process of healing that continues to this day. True intimacy begins with true surrender.

AWAKENING RETREAT
There is a battle going on for your attention, time, talents and
ultimately your heart. Are you in the fight?
At Awakening we explore our stories asking God to reveal the broken parts of our hearts, then we invite the Father into those areas for healing. We all have wounds but not all wounds look the same. Hidden in those wounds are messages about ourselves and the world that aren't true. We investigate those messages with God and allow Him to expose the lies behind them. True North will give you new tools to identify these lies as you re-enter life after the retreat.

THE WARRIOR WITHIN (College Students)
Proverbs 16:32
Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.
Young believers are thrown into the chaos of the collegiate atmosphere and face extreme pressure to “fit in.” The Warrior Retreat is a designed to expose the fears and lies each participant is currently battling, while making space to experience the freedom and validation that comes from being His son.
