Who is BraveCo?
We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
We understand not every man's story is the same - we are a company of men with different backgrounds, from different regions, and representing a diversity of ages, but we believe in the power of community and brotherhood.
Who is Riding High Ministries?
Founded by Todd and Leslie Pierce in 2002, Riding High Ministries communicates the love of Christ through the powerful, hands-on experience of breaking a wild horse. This living parable illustrates how God pursues us, heals us, and ultimately becomes one with us as our Father. Todd spent his life as a PRCA rodeo cowboy, minister for the PBR, horse trainer, outdoorsman and hunter. Todd currently travels the globe fighting to free the broken hearted and the fatherless. He has taken his message to churches, board rooms, bucking chutes, maximum security prisons and hunting camps. Todd’s authentic leadership brings God's heart in a unconventional, non-religious, down to earth way that is changing the world one heart at a time.
What is Kairos?
Kairos is a Greek word meaning “a time when conditions are right for the accomplishment of a crucial action.” We chose to call this event Kairos because we believe that the conditions are right for the hearts of men to be ignited. The idea for this Wyoming event was birthed in May of 2019 when Jason Valloton and Todd Pierce acted on call to action from God to host a life changing event called "Born Wild" at the Wildcatter Ranch in Texas. About 100 men had the courage to say "Yes" and attended the event. God radically touched the hearts of each and every one and the ripple effects can still be seen their lives today. The Born Wild event created a momentum and a spark within us that we want stoke into a raging wildfire. Society's ever-changing messaging about manhood has distorted the true role of a man for far too long. At this Kairos event you will not only learn to be a deadly shot, but will have the chance to be part of a brotherhood, to reconnect with your own heart and the heart of the Father, and to take a step toward learning how to fulfill your God-given calling as a man.

When & Where Will The Event Take Place?
The Kairos Event will take place August 11-13, 2022. You can arrive the evening of August 10th and join us for dinner. The event will take place at Non-Typical Outfitters' Big Park Camp located in the mountains above Cokeville, WY. Accommodations are wall tents with wood floors and a wood stove for heat. Cots, pads and pillows are provided. You will need to bring a sleeping bag with you. All meals are provided during the event. The event will end at about 5PM on August 13th. Accommodations will not be provided the night of August 13th.
What Is The Best Way To Get There?
If you are flying, there are two main choices for airports to fly into. Salt Lake City, UT airport is about 150 miles from Cokeville, WY (the closest town to the camp where the event will take place). Jackson, WY airport is about 125 miles from Cokeville. You could also fly into Pocatello, ID (120 miles) or Idaho Falls, ID (150 miles). From Cokeville to Big Park Camp is about an hour drive on gravel roads. Please note that Google Maps and other navigation may not be able to locate Big Park Camp accurately. We will be sending a map for you and we can also drop you a "pin" so that you will be sure to find the correct location.
Do I Need A Gun?
We highly recommend bringing your own rifle if you have one. There is a huge benefit to practicing with your own weapon. The muscle memory you develop as you practice will be most effective if you create it with the weapon you will be using normally. Also, as a team we will help you set up and verify that your gun is performing at its best. You may be able to rent a rifle if needed. Please contact us for more information about rifle rentals if you do not have access to a rifle for the event.
What If I Haven't Ever Been Camping or Shot A Gun?
Camping in the wilderness is an experience that we truly believe everyone should have. Spending an extended period of time in God's natural creation has a positive effect on people from all walks of life. If you have never camped before, this is a great opportunity! The accommodations are very comfortable, by wilderness standards, and we would love the opportunity to help you enjoy His great handiwork in a tangible way.
The shooting class portion of the event can be tailored to any skill level. We have taught people that have never touched a gun as well as upper level shooters that have had extensive previous training. Everyone can benefit from this class in various ways. Each participant will be grouped with others of a similar skill level for the class.
How Old Do I Need To Be?
We recommend that participants be 13 years of age or older. Though we have taught shooters as young as 10 in our shooting classes, we want to be sure that the men at this event feel free to discuss anything that may be on their hearts. Some of the discussions that may organically ensue may be inappropriate for younger children. If you are considering bringing your son to this men's event, we want to encourage you, but ask that all participants be 13 years of age or more.
What If I Don't Believe In The Lord?
Though this event is sponsored by BraveCo and Riding High Ministries, there is no requirement that you be a Christian in order to participate. We would love for you to come to this event and allow us to show you God's love in a practical and tangible way! Spending time in His creation and building brotherhood while doing it is our goal for this event. Come join us for a weekend full of adventure that will stay with you for years to come. We pray that you leave a changed man, more alive than when you arrived.
What Will The Days Look Like?
The mornings will begin shortly after sunrise with hot coffee and a hearty breakfast. There will be a time of fellowship during breakfast before heading out to the range for the day's shooting adventures. We will return to camp for lunch each day. The afternoons will be filled with more shooting and instruction in various shooting positions and techniques. There will be opportunities for horseback riding and hiking in these majestic mountains. Sunset will bring a hot supper and more fellowship and teaching hosted by BraveCo, Danny Silk and Riding High Ministries as we relax around the campfire, gaze up at the endless stars, and reflect on the day's adventures.
What If There’s An Emergency At Home While I’m Gone?
There is no cell service or internet at Big Park Camp. You will truly be in the wilderness while you are at the event. There will be a satellite texting device for emergencies. You are welcome to bring your own satellite phone or texting device as well. Those can often be rented by the day. You can also give your loved ones Non-Typical Outfitter's office phone number (307-654-0000) as an emergency contact. That line is monitored on a daily basis and a message can be relayed to you through our satellite texting device. Please keep in mind that communication in this area is far from reliable and is never quick.
