"I can't thank VROP enough for the experience I had during their wilderness retreat. As a veteran, it’s been hard adjusting to civilian life, but spending time in nature with other veterans who understand what I’ve been through was truly healing. The staff were incredibly supportive, and the scenery was breathtaking. I felt a sense of peace and purpose that I hadn’t felt in years."

"VROP’s outdoor program gave me the mental break I desperately needed. Being out in the mountains, learning survival skills, and sharing stories around the campfire with other veterans was an unforgettable experience. It felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. The VROP team genuinely cares about veterans and provides a safe, encouraging environment."

"I didn’t know what to expect, but VROP exceeded all my expectations. I felt more connected to nature, myself, and the group of veterans I was with. The guides were knowledgeable and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. This program is a must for any veteran looking to clear their mind and find inner peace. I’m already planning to attend the next trip!"

"I had been struggling with anxiety and stress after leaving the military, and VROP helped me rediscover my inner strength. The physical challenges of hiking and camping, combined with the calm and beauty of the outdoors, gave me a sense of clarity I haven’t had in years. I highly recommend this program to any veteran looking to reconnect with themselves and others."

"VROP was exactly what I needed at this stage in my life. The camaraderie, the nature, and the sense of accomplishment after completing our outdoor expedition are things I’ll never forget. It was a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, and I left feeling recharged and mentally stronger. The VROP team is doing incredible work for veterans!"

"I’ve been part of a few veteran support programs, but nothing compares to the impact of VROP. Being outdoors with other veterans who truly understand my struggles made all the difference. The activities were both challenging and rewarding, and I came away with new skills and a new perspective. I recommend this program to any veteran who needs a fresh start."
