Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy isn't about sitting on a couch; it's about rediscovering purpose, strength, and camaraderie through engaging activities in a supportive environment. The experience is highly personalized, focusing on what you enjoy to help you heal and regain a sense of normalcy and control. 

Here is what you can expect from the recreational therapy experience at our campsites:

​

​

• Action-Oriented Healing: Instead of traditional clinical settings, therapy happens through activities like kayaking, hiking, fishing, or group challenges. This active engagement helps to manage symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety by providing healthy outlets for stress and emotion.

• Building Camaraderie: Many sessions involve group activities with other veterans. This shared experience fosters a strong sense of brotherhood and belonging, a crucial connection that many miss after service separation. You'll connect with others who understand the unique challenges you face.

• A Renewed Sense of Purpose: By engaging in meaningful and enjoyable activities, you'll work on building new skills, setting achievable goals, and experiencing a sense of accomplishment. This process can help restore the sense of mission and purpose that might feel lost after leaving the service.

• Holistic Wellness: The experience addresses your physical, mental, and emotional well-being simultaneously. Physical activity improves sleep and reduces chronic pain, while nature and creative arts provide outlets for emotional expression and mental clarity.

• Adaptable and Tailored: The experience is tailored to your interests and abilities. Whether you're interested in quiet reflection by the lake or a more challenging outdoor adventure, activities can be adapted to ensure you can participate and benefit fully.

• Stress-Free Environment: Our all-inclusive sites mean the logistics are handled. Your focus can remain entirely on the therapeutic experience and connecting with yourself, your family, or your fellow service members. 

The goal is to move beyond recovery and towards rediscovery—rediscovering your joy, your capabilities, and your connection to the world around you.
