House In The Woods Military And Family Retreat

To create a therapeutic, recreational, and educational retreat for our nation's US armed forces and their families by using outdoor wilderness activities in Maine to create comfortable and relaxing milieu for veterans, active duty military, and their families to come together to share their common challenges which come from the service and sacrifice of protecting our nation's freedom and cherished democratic ideals. Activities will be led by licensed Maine guides and staffed with caring volunteers and assistance from the local VA Center and health professionals from the community upon request. We offer an outdoor retreat program that honors their sacrifice and assists our veterans in the journey towards healing the mental and physical pain of loss.
