- Combat Veteran Retreats -
“We stand alone together. . . .”
VCR hosts four-day retreats to guide combat veterans toward a path of healing. Our retreats foster fellowship through recreation and shared challenges with the goal of turning strangers into brothers and sisters.
Activities include:
- Ropes courses
- Kayaking rock climbing
- yoga
- Whitewater rafting
- Native American sweat lodges
- Archery
- Boating
- Trap shooting
Throughout our retreats, veterans work with trauma clinicians and peer mentors to share effective reintegration tools, rebuild trust, confidence, and companionship.
Each evening, participants gather around a fire circle to explore common postwar readjustment challenges and to share their hardships and successes. Our retreats are founded on proven methods, which orient the mind, body, and soul to healing after combat.
At the forefront of our retreats are the spiritual healing that stems from the leadership and direction of our Spiritual Team Leader, Roger Vielle—Blackfeet Tribal Nation.
