“There is a friendly competition between the guides on who is going to catch the first fish,” laughed Richter. Laurenz recalls her guide’s patience with her and getting tips during the activity. “After that weekend he went through his gear and put together a rod that he gifted me,” she said. “We have plans to fish together this fall.” Vanden Bosch says her guide was determined to catch the first fish, and they were successful. “My guide was amazing,” she said.
The weekend came to a close with a luncheon and presentation of certificates—but CfR didn’t end there. A private Facebook group was created right after the retreat called the Courageous Outlaws , making it easy for the 2025 group to stay in touch. “It’s hard to put into a sentence what the retreat meant to me, so I will give you words—healing, joy, tears, peace, love, bonding, growth, understanding, empathy, and empowerment,” said Vanden Bosch.
