Northern Nevada veterans invited to 3-day Veterans Healing Camp retreat
All local veterans are cordially invited to participate in a fun three-day retreat at Veterans Healing Camp in Silver Springs, Nev. from March 25 through March 28. There will be abundant opportunities for fun, fellowship and healing. Spend quality time with other Vets who are willing to share their stories and provide assistance.
There is no charge for the retreat including all meals and transportation. This is the first of many activities planned to help our local veterans make a successful transition from military to civilian life.
The Veterans Retreat starts on Sunday, March 25 at 2 p.m. with registration and welcome packages. Veterans will then enjoy dinner around the campfire with music and smores. Then inside for photos courtesy of Timothy Photography followed by a movie with popcorn.
Reveille is at 6 a.m.on Monday followed by a hearty breakfast. Dr. Anthony Edwards will host the first of two life-changing workshops. The afternoon will include a tour of the fish hatchery at Mason Valley Wildlife Management Area. The first lantern walk for Veterans Healing Camp will take place Monday evening along with a celebratory commemoration.
Tuesday’s activities include a horse therapy session courtesy of Norris and Margot Easley and a field trip to Lake Tahoe with Dr. Edwards. The retreat will culminate at the 2nd Annual Nowruz “New Year” Celebration Feast, 5 p.m. at Casino Fandango in Carson City. The Veterans will be duly honored for their service at this festive fundraiser.
