Live Boot Camp, The masculine Restoration

Why are you a man? Why did God create both man and female? Why not just “human” – one and the same gender? What is the purpose of masculinity and femininity? We mean this with all our heart: Before you truly know who you are and what you were created for, you will not live life – with a capital “L”.

It’s about understanding who you are so that you can live with honesty and offer the world your true strengths. That will change your life. You’ll smile more. More than that; the world, the woman, the children, and your brothers need you to be a whole man. Life then becomes deeper, more exciting, more logical, and infinitely more meaningful.

The long weekend is NOT a retreat with talk therapy, it is NOT packed with “macho” activities in the woods, and it is definitely NOT filled with religious “bullshit.”

Boot Camp Live is part of an ancient journey – an initiation from father to son, from elder to younger. Some call it discipleship. We call it returning to the journey God has always called men to.

The weekend is for men, taught by men, based on Biblical truths and lived experience. Through personal and honest teaching, quiet reflection, brotherhood, film, adventure, meals, and time spent in God’s creation, you will discover something deep in God’s heart – and in your own. This is not just a weekend. For many of us, it has been a turning point in life – one of the most important experiences we’ve had as men.

Become the man you were created to be by following the example Jesus lived. Jesus chose to be born as a man – yet the consequences of this are little understood. This weekend will give you clarity and understanding you are unlikely to find elsewhere. If you feel this speaks to you: Join Boot Camp Live! Try it and be surprised by what God can do in a man in such a short time.

Note: For the first time, all teaching during the weekend will be in English, making the event international. English films will have Norwegian subtitles.

Who Are We?
Wild at Heart Norway is a group of ordinary Norwegian men—husbands, fathers—who face the challenges of everyday life. Some of us work in areas related to family and marriage, while others have completely different jobs.

All those who teach are members of our board/team, primarily Arnstein Fedøy, Preben Olsen Sangvik, and Tage Krogstad. For more information, visit our website: Wild at Heart Norway at https://wahn.no/ 

Wild at Heart
The book by John Eldredge—previously titled "Wild at Heart"—has now been released in a revised edition. 
The book (either the new or older edition) MUST be read by everyone before attending the Boot Camp. 

Transport:
Participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from the camp and must arrive on time for check-in.
We may be able to assist with transport in some cases. Send us an email and we’ll look into it.

Participants:
Due to the intimate and personal nature of the content, Boot Camp is not a father/son event. We encourage fathers and sons to participate—just not at the same Boot Camp, and especially not the first time.

For the same reasons—depth of content and shared experience—Boot Camp is not intended for youth. You must be at least 18 years old to register.
