Veteran Retreat
Join Homeward Bound Adirondacks for a three-day outdoor retreat featuring tent camping at the new Homeward Bound Adirondacks Veteran Center and the invitation to the Open House of the New Veteran Retreat Center on Saturday, July 18.
Bring your own person tent or stay in one of HBA canvas tents.
This retreat offers veterans a unique opportunity to connect with one another, experience the beauty of the Adirondacks, and participate in the Open House while enjoying an extended stay at the Veteran Center. Veterans are welcome to arrive early, stay later, and enjoy the camaraderie and peaceful setting that make Homeward Bound Adirondacks retreats so meaningful.
⭐ Planning to attend the Open House? This retreat is the perfect opportunity. Veterans who want to participate in the Open House can arrive early on Friday, settle in, enjoy the camaraderie and outdoor setting, attend the festivities on Saturday, and stay until Sunday for a relaxing and meaningful weekend. There's no rush—just time to connect, reflect, and enjoy all that Homeward Bound Adirondacks has to offer.
The retreat will follow the traditional Homeward Bound Adirondacks retreat format, with the exception of Saturday's schedule. On Saturday, participants will spend the day attending and enjoying the Open House at the Veteran Center.

Policy
Our new screening process involves direct contact from a HBA Case Manager for all registered veterans to assess eligibility and prioritize attendance. We're focusing first on veterans enrolled in our Case Management and those who haven't yet experienced a retreat, particularly those facing service-related challenges. If a retreat reaches capacity under these criteria, we may need to schedule you for a later date. We understand this might be inconvenient and appreciate your understanding. Our goal is to support as many veterans as possible, prioritizing those dealing with service-related trauma or difficulties. A member of our HBA team will be in touch shortly for a pre-screening discussion about your specific situation.
Waiting List
If there are any cancellations, those first on the waiting list, will be offered these on first come basis. Feel free to contact Homeward Bound Adirondacks to get on the waiting list
Cancelations
If you need to cancel, please cancel with HBA as soon as possible. Please do not wait until the day before the retreat. An empty RSVP is one veteran who misses out.
