Victory Weekend Getaway Weekend

Join your fellow brothers and sisters in arms at the beautiful Lodestar Mountain Inn, surrounded by the stunning landscape of Smoke Hole Canyon, for our Victory Weekend Veterans and First Responders Getaway, November 14-16, 2025. This is your chance to heal and to help others who have served our nation heal.

Scott and Amy Wenger, event hosts, have both served in the United States military, and have also served as first responders in their community. Keynote speakers Scott and Jason Fike will deliver words of wisdom, laid upon their hearts by the Lord. You will be challenged, you will be spiritually fed, and you will be loved.

Guests begin to arrive on Friday, November 14, at 3:00 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:00. After dinner, Scott and Amy Wenger will share amazing stories of faith, belief, and the genesis of the Lodestar Mountain Inn and fellowship with guests.

On Saturday morning, breakfast items will be available at 8:00; then, Jason Fike will lead the group in a powerful devotional and games. Take a guided UTV tour of the property before brunch at 10:30. After our meal together, the afternoon is yours to make it your own. Optional activities include additional UTV tours, fishing in our ponds, skeet shooting, hiking the beautiful trails up the mountain, or simply being still and meditating on God’s Word as you press into Him. The options are limitless. After enjoying a delicious dinner at 6:00 p.m., we will gather around the fire pit to make s’mores and laugh and bond with other guests. Please bring a lawn chair if you have one!

We will conclude on Sunday with breakfast at 8:00 a.m., followed by a meaningful and special Bible study at 9:00, led by Scott Wenger. After this group time, guests will have time to rest and prepare for departure at noon. A light lunch will be available at 12:00 p.m., following checkout.
