OUTDOOR PEER HEALING CAMPS

CampCares is designed to provide outdoor healing peer therapy retreats including hunting, fishing, backcountry hiking, conservation, equine therapy, and meditation programs that are immersed in nature’s solitude to heal the soul.

No cost to participants. CampCares is at no cost to the Veteran or families, designed to support moving forward from past traumas and provide access to a full range of mind-body practices that facilitate healing to restore, reconnect and revive their souls.

All Applications for CampCares Events for 2024 are currently closed.

Please watch for 2025 application process events to open in April 2025.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Step 1: Create a VETCares account and/or Login to complete client profile.

Step 2: Submit application for processing by creating an account or logging in to my VETCares Portal.

STEP 3: Caseworkers will review your application and contact you for any additional information.

STEP 4: The case is evaluated and, if approved, you will be notified.

Note: While we want to assist all that apply, that is not realistic due to our limited financial and human resources. Our priority is to rank and process the most critical cases. We are currently experiencing a high volume of requests for financial help for military families. As a result, you may encounter some delay in the processing of your case. We appreciate your patience.
