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)

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.

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.

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.

That's what we offer here. Interested to learn more? Visit our website - https://ofmountainsandmen.org/

Recent capture from one of our trips.

Adventure gives us the setting, but discipleship is always the purpose. Through every challenge, conversation, and shared experience, these young men learn valuable lessons about character, faith, leadership, and responsibility.

It is always a privilege and joy to inspire, mentor, and share life lessons with them.

There is a great deal of work that happens after the shot.

This is where boys learn that providing for others carries responsibility. They are taught to handle the animal with care, to use what God has provided well, and to do the hard work that follows with humility and respect.

These moments are not about celebration. They are about gratitude, stewardship, and understanding where food comes from.

For many boys, this is the first time they connect effort, provision, and responsibility in such a tangible way.

We are grateful for guides who take the time to teach these lessons patiently and well.

Some lessons are best learned with a rod in your hands and a guide nearby.

This young man was locked in a hard fight, testing his patience, focus, and determination. There was no shortcut—just steady effort and the encouragement to keep going when it would have been easier to give up.

When boys work through moments like this, they begin to trust themselves in a new way. They see that perseverance pays off and that difficult things become manageable when they stay calm and keep at it.

Often, it is not the fish they remember most. It is the moment they realised they were capable of more than they thought.

We are grateful for the chance to walk beside young men as they grow in confidence, character, and faith.

A group of boys. One unforgettable experience. Lessons that will last far longer than the trip itself.

They learned patience, teamwork, responsibility, and respect for God’s creation. They were challenged, encouraged, and guided every step of the way.

Thank you to everyone who helps make opportunities like this available to young men in need.

A quiet smile says a lot.

Behind this moment were days of learning, listening, and staying focused. Success came only after preparation and perseverance.

We love watching boys discover what they are capable of when experienced men walk beside them and point them toward Christ.

A moment like this is about much more than the harvest.

It represents preparation, patience, and the confidence that comes from doing something difficult under careful guidance.

When a boy accomplishes something he once thought was beyond him, he begins to see himself differently.

That shift in perspective can carry into every area of life.
