Our Destination Immersions offer an exhilarating weekend getaway to the heart of Idaho, carefully curated for enthusiasts of the basecamp sport. These immersive experiences gather a tight-knit cohort of 8 individuals, fostering a sense of community through shared adventures and unforgettable moments. Led by two experienced coaches, each trip combines thrilling outdoor activities with opportunities for personal growth and connection, making it the perfect blend of adventure and camaraderie in the stunning landscapes of Idaho. ex: we’re trying to work with local guiding companies to go fly fishing on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River to wrap up the fly fishing basecamp. A lot of these experiences aren’t booked yet so I don’t have more information at this time.
The immersion includes facilitated travel and two overnight periods for all participants.
