Our Mission.
The goal of Evoke Changes Outdoors is to provide therapeutic adventures to veterans, first responders and youth with the intention of finding wellness in the wild. By reintroducing the outdoors through therapeutic activities, paired with emotional coping skills, we can improve quality of life and daily functioning.

Our aim with Evoke Changes Outdoor is to create a culture of community where others can develop skills that are applicable in all facets of their life. It is Evoke Changes Outdoors belief that by reintroducing the outdoors to others, we can improve their daily functionality through alternatives therapeutic outlets. We help others build therapeutic outlets through activities like fishing and archery. Adventure therapy is a mental health therapy discipline that uses the natural environment to help individuals cope with and overcome cognitive, behavioral, social and affective concerns or disorders. This is finding true wellness in the wild.
Improving Quality of Life.
Research has shown that giving people a purpose improves quality of life. It is Evoke Changes Outdoors’ belief that by introducing the outdoors to people, we can improve their daily functionality through alternative therapeutic outlets.
Creating purpose requires commitment in a variety of areas of our life. From diet to maintaining mobility, individual confidence to community support, routine to comfort in spontaneity, there are many facets that can influence our experience of purpose and worth.
We’ve created a 12 week program to facilitate lasting change which includes a 5-7 day therapeutic adventure trip either fly fishing or an archery hunt.
Therapeutic Outlets.
Establishing mindful outlets to focus one’s attention and energy is a powerful way to achieve various goals or stay motivated in the process. When these outlets are therapeutic, there is an inevitable force of balance and stability that comes from the experiences. We find this to be extremely important and vital to the process of change and goal orientation.

This is finding true wellness in the wild.
We focus on taking our clients on fishing and archery hunting trips across the beautiful landscapes of Montana. The process of practicing a skill, executing it successfully and walking away with food to feed yourself or your family are unparalleled experiences of the adventure therapy methodology we apply. We dive into these therapeutic adventures, head-first, with the intention of moving deep below the surface and into the process of establishing healthy habits, evoking changes, and keeping a vision on supportive goals.
Creating Community.
Cultures from the dawn of time have been collaborating using hunting and fishing as tools for connectedness and survival. As a society we have become disconnected from each for numerous reasons. A byproduct of this disconnection is depression, anxiety, lack of social skills, suicide and isolation. Our aim at Evoke Changes Outdoors is to create a culture of community where others can develop skills that are applicable in all facets of life.
Whether we need someone to talk to, be with, or feel the support of, being involved in a community of common mentalities and goals can be extremely motivating. It creates a culture of possibility and support to keep our comrades focused on changes or new aspirations.
