Wild at Heart Boot Camp Norway: Men's Adventure & Discipleship Weekend

The camp runs from Thursday 3 September to Sunday 6 September 2026, and it's the English-language version of a programme that's been running live in Norway since 2016. Until 2025 the teaching was always in Norwegian; after a first English edition that autumn drew good feedback, the team added this second English weekend.

The format is a series of live teaching sessions, not videos. Sessions cover what the team calls the deep passions and longings in a man's heart, fatherhood, wounds taken 'in battle,' and the themes of sex, God and calling. Each session is led by a member of the team — mainly Arnstein Fedøy, Tage Krogstad and Preben Olsen Sangvik — and they use their own stories as the material. There's no religious performance expected; the team writes that it's 'free from religiosity.'

Between sessions there's structured free time for reflection. You can walk out onto a mountain ledge, sit alone, or stay and talk with the group. Films are part of the evening programme, and the weekend is deliberately built around adventure and time outdoors in the Norwegian landscape rather than classroom hours alone.

It's an all-male group. Attendees come as individuals rather than couples, and ages in past groups have ranged from men in their twenties to men in their sixties. The team themselves are ordinary working men — husbands, fathers, some in family and marriage work, others in unrelated jobs — not professional retreat facilitators.

What separates this from a standard men's weekend is the format: everything is taught live, in person, by men who've run the same material for nearly a decade. The content is the same each year, and repeat attendees are common. It's also one of the few English-language Wild at Heart camps held in Norway, which is why the organisers added it — participants from outside Norway had been travelling to the Norwegian-language camps anyway.

Accommodation and all meals are included in the price. You arrange your own travel to the venue.
