Wilderness ReBoot Director Message

ReBoot Vision:

"To provide a safe place for Canadian MKs of all ages to review their life stories and be refreshed through worship and peer relationships, in order to navigate the on-going transition to Canadian life and culture with God's grace."

"It was truly an amazing week."
"One of my favourite parts though, was the privilege of hearing each MK’s story."
"I felt heard, understood, and deeply cared for..."

"I would recommend any MK go to Wilderness ReBoot. It is a place to find that you are not alone in the weirdness of being an MK and a safe place to share."

"The whole week I had a feeling that I haven't experienced for years; it was that feeling of letting down my guard, participating in conversation and connecting with the other MKs within hours of meeting them for the first time."

"Wilderness ReBoot was a really cool experience. To get to hear others’ stories and feel heard myself. Ben helped create an atmosphere in which everyone’s story -no matter if it was long or short- was seen as equally important."

Message from the Director

Dear friends,

I am delighted to welcome you to find out more about Wilderness ReBoot. I hope you can join us for 5 full days in the mountains. I am so thankful for Wilderness Reboot and the many connections that are being made.

I want to encourage you to look up Wilderness Reboot on Facebook where you can find some of my writings plus some pictures from past Wilderness ReBoots. The address is www.facebook.com/wildernessreboot

What do we do?

We UNPLUG from the internet and phone service world. We come apart by ourselves in a beautiful place to literally get away from civilization. We shut out the noise. The beauty of the mountains is uplifting and wonderful. We enjoy some amazing outdoor wilderness activities like hiking, back country horse riding, rappelling, and enjoying the mountain scenery.

We REFOCUS attention on God. Whatever relationship with God you find yourself in is welcome. We are all on a spiritual journey. We will have short Bible centered talks. We also give guidance for daily 60-90 minute times set aside to practice solitude with a journal and pen or sketch book and Bible in the beauty of the mountains. We give you time to practice honest forthright prayer. We value your privacy.

We tell our PERSONAL STORIES to one another. We all (staff included) tell part of our story in 20 minutes to the whole group. You are 100% in charge of what you share or don’t share. Mk’s have similar connecting points and it’s a powerful thing to listen to someone else’s story. Further instructions are given to help craft it. It’s a listening exercise for the group to listen well and validate the unique experience of the person who shares. We want to see friendships start that last for years ahead. We desire everyone to understand that they are not alone in finding their way in Canada.
