We’ll snowmobile into this winter hideaway for 3 days and 2 nights of adventure, well-earned soaks, and good company. Come ready to bundle up, ride into the wild, and thaw out together!
River of Return Retreat | WHI x YJRG
This all-women’s, multi-day journey down the Main Salmon River, in partnership with Yellow Jacket River Guides and Wild Hearts Idaho, blends whitewater adventure with ecological exploration and connection. Through time spent traveling the river corridor, observing her rhythms, and learning about the interconnected ecosystems supported, we’ll develop a deeper understanding of the Salmon. Together, we’ll reflect on our relationship with the natural world and leave with a renewed sense of connection to the river, her inhabitants, and our roles within this dynamic place.
Intro to Row Retreat | WHI x BVRC
Whitewater can feel intimidating—that’s why this program invites you to show up curious, a little nervous, and ready to learn. Through hands-on experience, you’ll build confidence by learning how to read the river, use your gear, and make informed decisions on the water. Along the way, you’ll become part of a supportive river community, gaining not just skills, but connection, teamwork, and a sense of belonging.
