We implement Christian-based wilderness programs for teenage boys, pointing them towards Christ! Mentorship – Boys need a guide in the journey to manhood
3.

Through the experiences of wilderness canoeing, deer hunting and winter adventures along with biblical discussions about masculinity, teens will obtain outdoor skills, confidence, and an understanding of what a Christian man is. Our Principles and Core Beliefs:
1.Outdoor skills result in increased confidence and capability
2. Masculinity is bestowed by a man or a group of men (from the book, “Wild At Heart” by John Eldredge)
4. Men have God-ordained roles (from the book, “4 Pillars of A Man’s Heart” by Stu Weber)

Sometimes it’s the simplest moments that say the most.

Young men, out in the wilderness, singing about how awesome our God is. No stage. No performance. Just a song in the darkness and a reminder of what we hope these boys carry home with them.

Yes, we want them to learn how to paddle, fish, build a fire, navigate the wilderness and do hard things. But more than any of that, we want them to know God for themselves. We want them surrounded by men who aren’t afraid to live out their faith, talk about it, pray with them and show them what following Christ looks like in everyday life.

Because when you’re raising a boy to become a man of God, who he spends time with matters.

We can teach a boy how to paddle a canoe, read a map, build a fire, or catch a fish.

But eventually, we have to talk about the bigger stuff.

What kind of man are you becoming?

What do you do when nobody is watching?

How do you handle responsibility? Failure? Temptation? Relationships?

And most importantly, what does it actually mean to follow Christ as a young man?

Those conversations are every bit as much a part of an OMM trip as the adventure itself. We want boys to go home with great memories, but we also want them to go home having been challenged by men who genuinely care about who they become.

If that’s something you want for your son, we’d love for you to get to know Of Mountains & Men.

This is one of the pictures we really want you to see.

Not the big fish. Not the mountain views. Not even the adventures.

This.

Young men sitting with older men who care enough to pour into them.

Our Campfire Talks give boys a place to hear from men who have lived some life, made mistakes, grown in their faith, and understand that becoming a godly man takes more than simply getting older.

They talk about faith. Responsibility. Relationships. Decisions. What biblical manhood actually looks like when you have to live it on an ordinary day.

A parent does not have to be the only voice trying to teach your son these things. Good men matter too.

That’s why mentorship is at the heart of Of Mountains & Men.

It’s hard to look at a morning like this and not stop for a minute.

No screens. No schedules. No constant noise. Just miles of water, a huge sky, and a reminder that God’s creation has a way of putting things back into perspective.

We want our boys to know how to do hard things, absolutely. But we also want them to know how to be still. To notice. To be grateful. To recognize the hand of God around them and learn to seek Him for themselves.

There’s room for both out here.

Sometimes a boy needs to get away from all the noise to hear the things that matter.

Out here, there are no shortcuts. You paddle when you’re tired. You help your partner. You learn to pay attention. And all along the way, there are good men beside you teaching, encouraging, correcting, and showing you what it looks like to follow Christ in everyday life.

Yes, we take boys on some pretty incredible adventures. But the adventure has always been the vehicle. The young man he is becoming is the reason we’re here.

This smile. This sunset. And probably a very tired young man by this point. 😄

There’s a lot packed into a day in the Boundary Waters. Miles paddled. Fish caught—or sometimes not caught. Meals made. Gear carried. Mistakes made and figured out.

And somewhere in between all of that, relationships are being built.

That matters because boys listen differently to men they’ve learned to trust. Our guides earn that trust by doing life alongside them, and that opens the door for conversations about faith, character, responsibility, and the kind of men God is calling them to become.

That’s the part of the trip you can’t always see in the pictures.

This is what it’s really all about.

We love watching these boys catch big fish, paddle miles, learn new skills and discover that they can do hard things. But the adventure has always been about something bigger.

It gives young men time away from the noise and puts them alongside godly men who can talk with them about life, faith, choices, and what it really means to follow Christ.

And sometimes, you get to witness a moment like this.

A young man choosing for himself to be baptized and publicly declare his faith in Jesus.

For parents raising boys and praying that they will grow into strong men of God—this is why mentorship matters. We can give them adventure, but more importantly, we can surround them with men who will encourage them, pray with them, challenge them, and keep pointing them toward Christ.

This is a moment worth celebrating. 🙏

Teaching young men patience, perseverance, and the value of slowing down long enough to appreciate God's creation is just as important as teaching them outdoor skills. Every cast, every lesson, and every moment spent together is another opportunity to invest in the next generation.

This one was a keeper—in more ways than one.

"Train up a child in the way he should go..." – Proverbs 22:6

Real growth often looks like struggle first.

Setting up a tent may seem simple until you’re the one responsible for getting it right. These moments teach patience, problem-solving, communication, and perseverance.

Boys become men when they’re challenged, guided, and trusted with responsibility.

07/03/2026

Sometimes the strongest lessons are learned on the water.

Out here, boys learn more than how to paddle a canoe—they learn teamwork, resilience, leadership, and trust. Every challenge becomes an opportunity to grow into the men God created them to be.

Boys need adventure. Boys need purpose. Boys need godly men leading the way.
