Reviews

“Wonderful time”

We had a wonderful time and even caught some fish! We both think it’s great that you offer getaways not just for Veterans, but also include spouses and kids, which is so important as we all serve as a family.

“5 Stars all around”

I promised to let you know how our weekend experience went. We give 5 Stars all around and amazing is an understatement. Bill went from I really don’t want to go, could we return again next year. The smaller group size made it more intimate and easier to share with other couples.

“Awesome support for veterans”

A wonderful time to talk & share with other veterans. Camp Bliss is a safe place with no judgement, awesome support for Veterans. It is healing to get together with other Vets, we are so lucky!
