Meet the team and your fellow writers at our HQ in La Grande to talk logistics and get to know each other over appetizers and drinks. Dinner on your own. Contact us for discounts at local hotels. 

On the day of departure, your guides will meet you at your La Grande accommodation for complimentary pick up in Sully, our adventure van.  After a ~1 hour drive to the trailhead. Step into the wilderness and leave the hustle of the city behind. At camp, settle in and we'll kick off the retreat with our first session!

Alternatively, drive your own car to the trailhead.

Settle in to your wilderness basecamp and our retreat curriculum. Let the inspiration flow among towering granite peaks, meandering alpine streams, and fellow creatives. For breaks, take day hikes to surrounding lakes, practice fly fishing, water color, or relax at camp.

At camp, your professional local guides turn into expert fun facilitators  and chefs, serving hand crafted appetizers, cocktails, and elevated backpacking fare, all sourced from hyper local ingredients. 

After your last delicious camp meal and bottomless coffee, enjoy a final sharing circle around the campfire. Once we're ready, pack up your gear and hit the trail. While it's tempting to put your head down and hustle (like a horse to the barn), even your last day is a chance to deepen your experience in the wild and enjoy the stroll back to civilization. 

Typically, groups reach the trailhead between 1-4PM, please plan flights & travel plans accordingly. 

Before your final departure, be sure to pick up custom Go Wild gifts, from t-shirts, to hand made leather work to local art prints of your location.
