For Active-duty and Reserve Chaplains currently or previously (in the last 3 years) assigned to NSW, MARSOC, USASOC, AFSOC, or JSOC
JUNE 7-11 | Kootenai River | Libby, MT | $2,250
Special Operations Forces (SOF) Chaplains play a unique role in the life of our country’s elite military personnel who are daily faced with many challenges, demands, and dynamic situations. As chaplains, we understand the investment you make in others and the many facets of ministry that demand your attention each day.
What is often missing from the list of needs is the time and attention needed for your soul's health and well-being. Is it time for you to give yourself the critical gift of devoted time away for rest, renewal, and re-imagining life and ministry from the place of a healthy soul?
Altar Fly Fishing has had the privilege to serve Navy SEAL's, SWCC's and CSS through spiritual resiliency trainings. Now it is your turn. Join Altar on a unique adventure and renewing experience with other SOF Chaplains. When you are at your best, everyone else wins around you.
"The intentional combination of outdoor environment, structured review of content, and unstructured time for reflection and decompression was extremely effective."
–Navy SEAL Officer
"The Altar team, the outdoor context, the conversations, and the quality facilities, combine for an extremely engaging time of spiritual growth and reflection–a most worthy investment of time and resources!"
–Naval Special Warfare Chaplain

KOOTENAI RIVER
Isolated in the northwest corner of Montana the Kootenai River lies off the beaten path of the more traveled, popular “big name” rivers of Montana. Providing a truly uncrowded setting the Kootenai River maintains a high quality trout fishery.
The Kootenai River, emerging from Libby Dam, is Montana’s newest tailwater fishery. Cradled between the Cabinet Mountain Wilderness and the Purcell Mountains, it contains a wide array of insect life to support prolific hatches throughout the season.
The Kootenai and its tributaries are the only waters in Montana to contain a native strain of rainbow trout, called Columbia Redbands.
