    Female Veterans & Daughters Getaway- FILLED

    12:00 pmLearn More

     

    If a Retreat/Getaway says FILLED, please email or  call Lori O. to be put on a waiting list: lorio@indpendentlifestyles.org or call 320-281-2016

    December 1-3, 2023

    We appreciate the women who have served our country. Camp Bliss is excited to host our Female Veterans and Daughters Getaway! 

    We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you!  We have been very successful with our legislative pursuits for funding. We WILL NOT be charging a registration fees for Veteran getaways for the next two years as we have secured funding from the MDVA. You may come up to two retreats per year!  We will now be allowed to get reimbursement for Spouses, children, and active-duty service members!

    Because there’s not a registration fee, you will be required to submit your DD214 (Member 4) and Driver’s license or state ID.  If a spouse is attending and has a different last name, you will be required to show proof of marriage before you are considered “registered.”  Once you are committed to attending your retreat, there are limited spots for each one and if you do not show up, that is a Veteran’s spot that you have eliminated.

    Join us for a weekend of relaxation and connect with other female Veterans and daughters - ages 12+ and up. 

    All our Getaways & Retreats are alcohol free. 

    If a Retreat/Getaway says FILLED, please email or  call Lori O. to be put on a waiting list: lorio@indpendentlifestyles.org or call 320-281-2016

    We need to receive your registration by Friday, October 27, 2023.
