Fishermen's Retreats

God and the Great Outdoors

Overview

Fishermen’s Retreats are the essence of the church in the great outdoors. Gather with hundreds of other men to hang out, worship, and challenge one another to be men of God. Enjoy all the unique opportunities this weekend provides: competitive and recreational fishing, 4×4 Tours, High Adventure Ropes Course, and Hume’s awesome shotgun range.

In addition to all our great activities, we’re also holding the following competitions: Fishing Derby, First Limit, Archery, Top Shot, shotguns!

IMPORTANT
Some older mapping services will suggest you take the 245. It is a curvy, winding road that will take you at least an additional hour. DO NOT take 245!

Check in starts at 3:00 PM the first day of the retreat.

You need to be checked out of your lodging by 11:00 AM the last day of the retreat.

We provide:

Dinner the first day of the retreat

All meals each full day of the retreat

Breakfast and lunch the last day of the retreat

There is no cell service at camp. If needed, WiFi is available in select areas for a fee via the ‘Hume Guest’ WiFi network.

If you are attending the retreat, we give you the opportunity to sign up for the following year at the retreat. We then open up registration for everyone else soon after the retreat is over (usually a week from the end of the retreat).

At this time, we do not have an electric charging station at Hume or outlets available for charging vehicles. We encourage you to fully charge your electric vehicle before heading up the mountain.

Here at Hume, we absolutely love activities of all kinds. Scaling cliffs, jumping from trees, shooting stuff, driving wild roads, exploring mountains, and of course sport competition—the list is long and FUN.

*Activities subject to weather conditions and availability. A few activities have limited slots available and require an additional cost. Certain activities are subject to age and weight restrictions. Please call or email for more details.
