Everything included: lodging, meals, bait, and fellowship.

Everything's Included

Guided Fishing

We promise fishing. We don't exactly promise catching... but we have hope! Equipment and bait included for beginners and seasoned anglers alike.

Cozy Lodging

Rest and warm up in comfortable on-site cabins after a full day on the ice. No frozen tent required.

Hearty Meals

Fuel up with warm, home-style meals that make a Minnesota January feel almost reasonable.

Faith & Fellowship

Prayer, evening Bible studies and teaching, and community built around the gospel. More than a fishing trip. A retreat.

Slow Down.
Go Deep.

Ice fishing has a way of stripping away the noise. Come sit still, wait, and listen. There's nothing quite like a day on the ice. The best conversations happen around the ice fishing hole and in the sauna. This retreat has both.

"He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul." Psalm 23:2-3
