Get involved
There is a place for you here, too.
Not everyone who belongs at the retreat wore the uniform. The woods stay open because neighbors mow, build, cook, sponsor, and show up. Whatever your hands are good at, there is a job for them here.
Ways to show up
Six ways to lend a hand
Volunteer your time
Grounds and trails, cabin upkeep, event support, skilled trades, and community outreach. Every skill has a place at the retreat.
Sponsor as a business
Local businesses keep stays and gatherings free through sponsorships, event support, and team service days.
Give goods or services
Building materials, equipment, professional services, and supplies for gatherings carry the retreat as surely as dollars.
Give money
Online or by check. Every dollar goes straight to the retreat and the veterans who use it.
Come to a gathering
Coffee mornings, luncheons, bowling nights, and wellness days. Friendly faces are half of what makes them work.
Spread the word
Follow along, share our posts, and if you know a veteran who could use the woods, tell them about this place.
Many hands before an October gathering
