2024 Camp Bliss Retreats for Veterans, Law Enforcement and People with Disabilities!

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you!  We have been very successful with our legislative pursuits for funding of Veteran Retreats and Getaways at Camp Bliss. Exciting News! 

  • We will not be charging a registration fees for Veteran getaways for the next two years, we have secured funding from the MDVA.  For non-qualifying Veterans there will be a fee of $100 per person to attend a getaway or retreat.  If you have questions about the guidelines please call Lori at (320) 281-2016.
  • We will now be allowed to get reimbursement for Spouses, children, and active-duty service members!

You may come up to two retreats per year!!!! MDVA Calendar Year September 1, 2023 – August 30, 2024. We have added many exciting retreats due to this!!  A complete list of 2024 Retreats and Getaways are listed below! **Because there will not be a registration fee, you will still be required to submit the appropriate documentation, 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, please commit fully to attending your retreat as there are limited spots for each one and if you do not show up, that is a Veteran’s spot that you have eliminated

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