Alaskan

Christian Wildlife Retreat

June 2028

Imagine standing just feet away from a wild Alaskan brown bear, surrounded by some of the most breathtaking wilderness on earth. Now imagine sharing that experience with a small group of people who share your love of wildlife, faith, and God's creation.

I've been exploring the possibility of hosting a Christian Wildlife Retreat at Brown Bear Bay in Alaska in June 2028, and I'd love your input before moving forward.

I realize June 2028 may seem a long way off, but a trip of this kind requires considerable advance planning. Before making any commitments, I want to find out whether there's enough interest to bring a small group together for this unique experience.

Imagine what we could experience together...

Unforgettable encounters with Alaska's brown bears.

Brown Bear Bay offers extraordinary opportunities to observe coastal brown bears in their natural habitat, including photography from a professionally designed ground-level blind where bears may be just 2–6 meters away at eye level. Bears also wander naturally through the surrounding meadows and forest edges, sometimes appearing right outside the lodge.

An exclusive wilderness retreat.

Located along Chinitna Bay on the western shores of Cook Inlet, next to Lake Clark National Park, Brown Bear Bay sits on 160 acres of private land. With only four guest suites and a maximum of 12 guests, it offers an intimate wildlife experience far removed from crowded viewing destinations.

An experience for photographers AND wildlife lovers.

You don't need to be a photographer to join us! Whether you love capturing wildlife with a camera, taking pictures with your phone, or simply watching animals in their natural environment, there's something here for you.

We'll have opportunities for 8–10 hours of guided outings each day, but nobody needs to participate in every outing to enjoy the experience. The lodge has a photography blind accessible 24 hours a day, along with a deck and boardwalk offering wonderful wildlife-viewing opportunities. If you'd prefer some extra downtime or don't want to venture out on every ground-level excursion, you can still enjoy incredible encounters from the lodge. Some walking will be required, but the experience offers flexibility for different interests and activity levels.

A retreat for the soul.

My vision is to make this more than a wildlife adventure. Between outings, we'll gather for spiritual seminars, meaningful conversations, and time reflecting on the beauty of God's creation. My hope is that we'll return home with wonderful memories, new friendships, and a renewed appreciation for the Creator and the blessings surrounding us every day.

What’s Included?

  • 5 days of bear-viewing opportunities 8-10 hours per day

  • 24 hour access to a ground blind

  • round-trip charter flights between Homer and the lodge

  • meals at the lodge

  • guided outings

  • two hotel nights in Homer

  • SIMMS chest waders and boots

  • comfortable accommodations throughout the stay including 24/7 on-demand hot water, high speed wifi, electricity, private en-suite bathroom with shower, vanity, sink, toilet

Based on the current arrangements with the lodge, I'm estimating the retreat will be approximately $13,500 per person.

This is a preliminary estimate, not a finalized price. Airfare to and from Homer, travel insurance, and certain personal expenses would be an additional cost.

I realize this is a significant investment, and I completely understand that it won't be within everyone's plans or budget. That's one of the reasons I'm reaching out now. Before making commitments and securing accommodations, I want to determine whether there's enough genuine interest to move forward.

And you don't have to come alone! I'd love to see couples, friends, and individuals come together for this experience. You don't need expensive camera equipment or any photography experience. A love of wildlife, an appreciation for God's creation, and a desire to share in the experience are all you need.

Knowing the preliminary investment would be approximately $13,500 per person, would you seriously consider joining me for this Alaska adventure in June 2028?

Send me a message and let me know:

  • Whether you'd seriously consider attending.

  • Whether you'd potentially bring a spouse or friend.

  • Whether you're primarily interested in photography, wildlife viewing, the spiritual retreat experience, or a combination of all three.

  • Any questions or concerns you'd want addressed, especially regarding timing and cost.

Even if you're only tentatively interested, I'd love to hear from you!
