The Camp will provide alternative therapy retreats including hunting, fishing, hiking, conservation, horse therapy, as well as, be immersed in nature’s solitude to heal the soul. The Lodge will organize the therapies and local guides to take the Veterans out for one day or several days then meet back at the lodge for dinners and brother/sister bonding around the campfires and/or have solitude under the Montana skies.
