2025 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/Getaways at Camp Bliss.

  • Starting January 1st of 2025, we will now charge a $100 refundable registration fee for all our Getaways/Retreats.  What this means is we have reserved a spot exclusively for you, when you cancel another Veteran could have had that spot.  If you attend your scheduled Getaway/Retreat, we will then refund your $100 if you are a qualifying Veteran.  If you cancel within 7 days of the scheduled retreat, you will not get the $100 fee back, as we are required to purchase supplies and food in advance.
  • 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 include Spouses, children (under 18), and active-duty service members!

You may come up to two retreats per year during MDVA Calendar Year September 1, 2024 – August 31, 2025!! We have added many exciting retreats due to this!!  A complete list of 2025 Retreats and Getaways are listed below! **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
