Our Annual Bear Hunt Retreat is 2 weeks of Camaraderie & Healing.
Men and women from all branches of service, all eras, and all backgrounds, can come together and share in the day-to-day activities just like you do at home with your family.  Spending time together from sun up to sundown, all who take part in the bear hunt retreat, will leave as part of the House in the Woods family.  

Many of our attendees suffer in silence, with combat-related injuries not visible to the naked eye, such as PTSD, TBI and others like this.

Here at House in the Woods, you have the opportunity to connect once again with the people who understand you most, your military brothers and sisters. 

You won't find therapists here, but rather, men and women who know where you come from, understand where you've been, and are here to help you any way they can. Healing is not just found in being helped, it's found in helping others and many of our attendees will attest to the fact that they left feeling better about themselves by helping those around them.
