Outing experiences include the National Bison Range, Glacier National Park, touring Flathead Lake, fly fishing with a professional guide, horseback riding at local guest ranches, Ninepipes Museum of Early Montana, bird watching, hiking and more!
All retreats are facilitated by Coy Theobalt, MA. Coy's work with men with cancer spans two decades. He co-founded Reel Recovery, a national non-profit offering men with cancer fly fishing trips and emotional support. Coy served as the National Program Director for this organization. He is responsible for creating the courageous conversations model used by Reel Recovery for their group meetings. We will use a similar approach at Goat Peak Ranch Retreat.
