All our Retreats are alcohol free. We will now charge a $100 refundable registration fee, 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 Retreat, we will then refund your $100. 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.

Camp Bliss is an incredible retreat and vacation destination in Walker, Minnesota.
